If you're not a big Lewis fan, what on earth were you doing on that Lewis forum?  |
I honestly don't remember how I got there. 
And before you say it, it's probably an age thing....

LOL I had to wonder that too. Mind, when I first joined that forum I had only read the Narnia books and that was it. That was back in the late 90s. Since then I've read most of Lewis's fiction and a large percentage of his apologetics.

When the Screwtape letters became popular I read them, followed by Out of the Silent Planet.
I have now read most of Lewis and have liked most that I have read.

That Hideous Strength is my favourite of the Space Trilogy. Has anyone read the Dark Tower, the fragment of a novel that was meant to be part of the Trilogy? (and whose authorship has been questioned).

That Hideous Strength seems to be oput of step with the other two books IMHO
I found the Dark Tower different to most of Lewis's other works.

Have you read - or are you familiar with - KAtherine Lindskoog's book 'the CS Lewis hoax'? She alleges that the DT was not written by Lewis but was a forgery by Walter Hooper. I've not read her book but she used (before her death, naturally) to post on that Lewis forum above. I always disagreed that the DT was not 'Lewisian.' There were several parts of it that resonated with me as being similar to That Hideous Strength.
