Required reading

Outstanding thoughts well read. This is my favorite book by CS Lewis. I highly recommend it.

What has happened to us?

Where was and is, the educational system that allowed this thinking to be commonplace? Shame.

Difficult Read

I struggled through this read until I had it read to me. It was still difficult to understand as C.S. Lewis was definitely a brilliant writer. I had difficulty with his circular arguments as sometimes they just did not make sense. In the end, it is a good book just a difficult argument regarding moral and objective values as it pertains to education.

Douglas Gresham is a good narrator as he helps to get through it without putting one to sleep.
