Back in March, I started a blog series entitled, “At the Kilns”. The mantra of this series was “Learning from C.S. Lewis”; the plan was to immerse myself in the writings of C.S. Lewis. As this year draws to a close, I would like to review what I have read and what I still need to read before my yearlong endeavour concludes in March 2009.
At the Kilns: Learning form the Writings of C.S. Lewis
Books read in 2008
Fiction:
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Prince Caspian
The Great Divorce
Lectures/Sermons/Apologetics:
The Weight of Glory
God in the Dock
Christian Reflections (nearly finished)
Christian Life:
The Four Loves
A Grief Observed
Letters:
selections from They Stand Together: C.S. Lewis to Arthur Greeves
Letters to an American Lady
Biography:
C.S. Lewis Remembered by H.L. Poe and R. W. Poe
Seeking the Secret Place: The Spiritual Formation of C.S. Lewis by Lyle Dorsett
Books unrelated to C.S. Lewis
Old School by Tobias Wolff
Glory and Honour: The Musical and Artistic Legacy of J.S. Bach by Gregory Wilbur
Iliad by Homer (nearly finished)
On the list for the next three months, I propose the following (based on the recommendations of a well-read Lewis fan):
That Hideous Strength (from The Cosmic Trilogy)
Till We Have Faces
This will take me to March. I may also be able to fit in The Abolition of Man. There is still a sizable corpus of Lewis’ writings I have yet to explore. Most of the books I read this year are among Lewis' shorter texts; nonetheless, I will have a lifetime, Lord willing, to read and re-read more of C.S. Lewis. After March break, however, I will leave the Kilns and begin a series on Francis Schaeffer… “At L’Abri”. The Kilns won't be left behind completely, mind you. Lewis has a way of appearing on my reading list every year.
