It sure is. :( I repent with dust and ashes. I am almost through with it. It is very interesting.

Lewis' 'Four Loves' is one of His only that I have not read. Is it good?

sofyst-
YES! It is great. I learned a lot about not only Lewis, but also a little bit about how men view certain things. I would say read it! You may be able to get your hands on the radio lecture series. He originally recorded it for broadcast, but then it was deemed to "risque" for the American public.
My library had one copy, check and see if yours does.
