Bo — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 02:48:18 GMT

Hello, my name is Bo. Last semester, I had the pleasure of taking a philosophy class entitled: "Philosophy of Literature: JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, Charles Williams, the Modern Romantics, and the Meaning of Life." I had been a fan of all three, Lewis in particular, for a very long time (as well as a lifelong geek girl), and the title alone had me hooked. I had no idea that the three of them (and others) worked together! Out of the loop, that's me...

It was a very enjoyable class, and the result of it was that I was invited to be in a private discussion group during this current semester, along with about six other students. Each of us will produce a 12-18 page thesis on one of the topics touched on in class, or one we choose ourselves. So here I am. My topic is (tenatively) an exploration of the archetypal objects of power in the Chronicles of Narnia.

Pleased to meetcha.

NaNoWriMo - writing a Charles Williams-type novel

hayesstw — Sun, 03 Dec 2006 03:45:33 GMT

November was National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), and I issued a challenge to Charles Williams fans to try to write a Charles Williams-type novel.

For those unfamiliar with Charles Williams, he was a 20th-century novelist, and a member of the Inklings, the literary group that included C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and several others. You can read more about him at the following web site:

And there is also a mailing list dedicated to his works at

Mere Christianity

Madonna — Wed, 16 Nov 2005 10:39:09 GMT

I'm currently reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis and wanted to share my thoughts on it.
It's excellent and he has definitely opened my eyes on a lot of things that I never even thought about.
I've read all the chronicles of narnia and love them dearly so I decided to read some of his other works and so far I haven't been disappointed.

As I have just been invited by a friend to join, I thought I would post a link with several resources for further reading.
