" difficult read, but intriguing. i never thought about "Desire" in that way before. or was taken through so many different philosophical thoughts. that's what i love about Lewis...he gets you to think about things in ways you've never thought before! his point i think was that our souls were made to enjoy/desire something that is not fully given, something we can't quite grasp..hence his defense of christianity, romanticism.

" If Chronicles is allegory for children, then Regress is allegory for adults. It is not an easy read, but it is amazingly timely even though it was written 75 years ago. It suffers (?) from what all good allegory contains--a difficulty in determining which details comport meaning and which are simply artistic, but if you can find a little help to clear some of it up, it's absolutely worth your time.

" This is the first book Lewis wrote post-conversion--I believe he was 35. Also interesting, he wrote it in 2 weeks! There's one scene at the end that I have quoted numerous times. "

" An allegorical tale of the life of Lewis; a bit obscure in parts, but interesting nonetheless. It's one of those books you can read over and over again, and still learn something new about yourself each time. "

" I've always heard that this is a crazy one. It turned out to be Surprised by Joy (Lewis' autobiography and a quote from Wordsworth) done in Saturday-morning cartoon fashion. One would probably do well to read Surprised by Joy first, but heck, I liked it.
