I ask at the accepted risk of being crucified (pun intended) by those who may despise C.S. Lewis for being a Christian writer/philosopher (I hope lots of you are just happy to talk about books!)
-- Have you read C. S. Lewis's Space Trilogy?
I REALLY enjoyed this fictional trilogy. I found its dealings with the abstract ideas of the cosmos and unobserved universe, epistemology, morality and faith to be thought-provoking and creative .
I'm just dying to talk about it with someone, so let me know if you're out there!
Maybe some of you even read different religious or philosophical texts to learn more about the varying perspectives around you -- I haven't made time for that in a while, but I'd love to hear from you, too .
Also, Sci-fi & Fantasy lovers, unite! Some of my favourites are H.G. Wells, Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and Jeanette Winterson.
Love Terry Prachett's Disc worlds . Read H.G,Wells as a teen . Do you know where your towel is ?
Haha, I always keep my towel close!

Posted by ReignmondA highly biased selection.
Posted by ReignmondI read this back in 2018. Absolutely loved it. It is an oddly small sized book, so it is good to travel with. [amazon.com]

Posted by ReignmondA short Sci-Fi that is quite good even though it will only take about an hour to read. It is also kinda cheap. [amazon.com]

Posted by ReignmondVery good. I have noticed that 12 step programs are ineffective. [goodreads.com]
Posted by ReignmondActually read this some time ago (46 years) while trying to figure out why I simply could not believe in Jesus or God or anything else I was being told by Bible Thumpers.
Posted by ReignmondThis is one of my very most favorite books.
Posted by Julie808I'm currently reading "The Power Worshippers" by Katherine Stewart. Is anyone else reading this?
