Little Bits of Books

I think that I shall start leaving my favorite quotes, every so often, from my favorite books. Keep watch for many in the future!

A truely Baffling Story

I've just finished Till We Have Faces, by C.S. Lewis. I like it, but I keep on feeling like there's a deeper meaning that takes more time to study than I have time. My best guess is that it is kind of a complementary piece to his philosophical book, The Four Loves. I suppose that is what made the most sense, is the probing into the many facets of love, both good and evil. I really wanted a protagonist of more weight, coming from the fact that Pysche only appears on the outer ends of the story, and I didn't feel like there were really any other true, pure characters in the book.
From a literary standpoint, I can see why most critics call it his best book. The writing is supurb, and the plot is uniquely different from the original greek tale, making subtle changes that have intruiging outcomes. I was duelly impressed by the character development, and felt the tension between the main character and the people surrounding her.
Overall, a truelly good read. It is the kind of book that takes a lot of study and thought, but I think it reaps rewards for the devoted mind. Definitely one of C.S. Lewis' best.
Coming soon, a look at a fascinating american tale, full of drama, tragedy, redemption, and a hint of fantasy. We'll take a look at the debut novel of author Leif Enger, Peace Like A River.

Howdy!
