I've read 7 out of the 22 you listed (3 of them you listed twice, which I take to mean you read them twice!), and partially read 7. I still have those seven to finish and 8 to read. (partially the books I've read, I credit to trading off books with you!). Seems I've got my work cut out for me!
By the way, I see you had a run for Buechner books lately. Which is the best?
Your brain must be feeling rich about now! Quiet amazing good sir. Which were the absolute best that we have to read before we die? Also, with Joel, how do you like F.B. after reading so many of his, and which is the best?
I read Pilgrim's Regress a long time ago. I was concerned that it might fall into the hands of someone who did not think it was satire, and take it as authentic spiritual guidance.
Hello Jean, And welcome to Foolish Knight! Interesting statements, but I’m not quite sure that I know what you mean. Are you saying that you think C. S. Lewis was trying to show the foolishness of the philosophies that were “in vogue” at the time though characters like “Mr. Humanist” and “the Clevers” or are you saying that Lewis was poking fun at Christianity itself? Anyway I was just wondering and hope you enjoy the rest of the site!
To Joel and Tuesday Jr, yes Frederick Buechner has cemented himself as one of my favorite writers, and Godric is probably my favorite of his fiction, or maybe it’s Brendan, or maybe it’s The Storm, or maybe it’s The Wizard’s Tide or maybe it’s...
I understood what Lewis was trying to do in Pilgrim's Regress, but my concern was that others might not.
