Introduction Thread II

Hey guys! I'm a 23 year old aspiring film maker (writer/director/cinematographer/editor) from Southern Oregon. I'm also a life long Narnia fan, and a fan of C.S. Lewis in general. I grew up with the books, the BBC adaptations, and the fantastic Focus on the Family radio dramas. I've closely followed the development of all thE new films as well. I've read the Space Trilogy as well as most of Lewis's non-fiction works. So, yeah... Huge fan here!
 
Hmm. Hard to say... I read most of them an anthology (The Complete C. S. Lewis Signature Classics) so many of them kind of bleed together. I view them almost more as chapters in a book then distinct works. My favorite part of the book was probably the Screw Tape Letters, but obviously that isn't one of his non-fiction works...

I think that Mere Christianity resonated with me the most. It's almost certainly his most famous non-fiction work, and for good reason.

Yeah, both The Screwtape Letters and Mere Christianity are good.

I do like his religious/apologetic works; he's very intelligent and it makes me wish I could've known him so we could argue theology over a pint.
 
Hello, David! When I introduce new readers to Mister Lewis, I normally urge them to begin by reading Surprised By Joy. Although Lewis labored mightily to make his books understandable for every reader, it HAS by now been fifty years since he departed for Aslan's Country, and society changes. Reading Lewis' autobiography helps people to grasp where all his OTHER books are coming from.
 
Welcome to the forum(s), David. Hope that you enjoy your time here. I really thought I'd be gone after a couple of years, but I'm going on 8 years as a member, so I guess I can't shake this place. :rolleyes: ;) It's a great place for discussion and fun!

-AK.

I've only been here around five, but I didn't ever imagine I'd still be kicking around even that long.
