I always was a maverick. I read the Space Trilogy BEFORE ever looking at the Chronicles of Narnia.

In "Out of the Silent Planet," where the captured Weston wants to make his idioitic, self-serving excuses to the Malacandrans, Maestro Lewis did a thing which I only ever saw being done equally well in the "Retief" sci-fi novels of Keith Laumer. The technique is writing dialogue among characters who speak different languages, and using only word-choices IN ENGLISH to reflect the imagined language difference.

The most high-impact line in the Ransom-translates-Weston sequence is: "--and wherever they went, they would kill everyone."
 
Sounds like the kind of book I would enjoy, if only (for I have devoured this series many times) as hobbits delighted in books filled with things that they already knew, set out fair and square with no contradictions. :D
