       Books

       I picked up a book to read which I had purchased in a plaza
       underneath the CITADEL hotel in Ottawa on Friday,November 6
       ,1998 while attending the 79th A.G.M. 0f P.I.P.S.C. as an
       Ontario Region delegate, entitled, "The Abolition of Man." by
       C.S.Lewis, I tried to read it the other day. but it makes no
       sense to me, although I know Lewis is a popular Christian
       author, give me G.K.Chesterton every time.I have read
       "Orthodoxy" by Chesterton and found it very interesting, Lewis
       also wrote a book called "Miracle" which I read years ago,
       failing to understand  it. I already believed in Miracles but
       his articles and way of writing failed to impress me. Lewis
       never became Catholic. I did enjoy His Screwtape Letters. Of
       course Lewis who died in 1963, was a professor of medieval and
       Renaissance Literature at Oxford and Cambridge. His style of
       writing did not appeal to me, I just have difficulty with his
       works, no doubt that is my fault and not the fault of C.S.
       Lewis.

       We all have different tastes in writers, Leslie.
       I like CS Lewis very much and have always found his writings
       inspirational but it's been a while since I read any of his work
       and I may feel differently now.  That's normal.
