So what was your favorite part of atleast the firs book, and what message do you think C.S. Lewis was trying to express?

I finished reading all three books about a year ago and I must say I can't wait to read them again.

I love the idea that we on the Earth are the only ones messed up. And that all the other planets don't have wars and are just fine.

I thought that it was very interesting how C.S. Lewis used, light as a way of symbolising spiritual things.

Those books are amazing! (But what by C.S. Lewis isn't?) I've read all of his works of fiction, and it's so hard to pick favorites. I would probably say that I like Narnia the best, but that's probably mostly sentimental, since they were about the first books I read. But the Space Trilogy and Till We Have Faces are definitely extraordinary books.

They must make the Space Trilogy into movies and graphic novels. Yes.

That would be pretty neat, but they would have to be creative to do Perelandra in a family-friendly manner due to the fact that throughout the book both Ransom and the Venus-lady are....uhh...less-then-modestly dressed.Raskolnikov wrote:They must make the Space Trilogy into movies and graphic novels.
