From the library of C.S. Lewis

I've struggled through Mere Christianity, Screwtape Letters, and been inspired by countless words from the late C.S. Lewis. He had a way of saying things in a way that captured exactly what you didn't know you were thinking. So, when I found "From the Library of C.S. Lewis," I had to check it out. The book is full of excerpts from the breadth of authors who influenced C.S. Lewis. I was fascinated by how many different types of literature he read. As interesting as it was to read works by a variety of authors, reading excerpts is a bit like reading a verse from the Bible without taking the time to consider the context. And although the sections were divided by topics, since there were a bunch from Chesterton and other writers equally influential, it would have been nice to see their works together. It's still fascinating to see life through the reading glasses of C.S. Lewis, but this book wasn't exactly what I'd hoped.
