I left SpareOom, the moderated C. S. Lewis Yahoo group, yesterday. Currently the moderator and another member are mired in a discussion about who is closer to...
I ended up leaving SpareOom as well. This is more like coinherence, but quieter, of course, since there are fewer people. Recently I started rereading the...
I read The Lord of the Rings trilogy a before the films came out. To be honest much of it seemed like walk up hill and down, fight, walk up hill and down. As...
Overall, I do agree that the films were done very well. The extended editions are better, I think. The only issue I can think of is Faramir bringing Frodo...
Thanks for the link to Colin Rudd, Andrew. Lovely; made my day. Here's a playlist for Colin Rudd: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=C3C26014FA098A76 ...
DRAT! Today I can't get into Eldil!! Ann So here's what I posted (or would have had Eldil Yahoo Group been accessed): You may have seen reported on the news...
The myths in the books I've mentioned and many others have been seated in my psyche, my soul. C. S. Lewis' thouoght about myth for me is brilliant. Myth is...
... I am reminded of what Nicolas Berdyaev said about myth: "Myth is a reality immeasurably greater than concept. It is high time that we stopped identifying...
This is a great quote about something important. What do you all get from myth? Start with Lord of the Rings, for instance. How does it resonate with you? I...
There is so much I want to say here. I'll do a post on this on my blog http://asinusspinasmasticans.wordpress.com </shameless plug> Thanks for the message...
Hi Robert, Please post at least some of what you want to say here. It's more immediate, for one thing. And it does bolster the group. But thanks. And I'm...
If there is one thing I have taken away from the epistemological wars I have been involved in on the internet, it is that TRVTH is something of a fluid...
I enjoyed the LOTR films enormously - in particuoar, they matched the places and scenery superbly. But trhe real weaknes was the stonishing change in Frodo. In...
Somewhat related... I wonder how the movies for the Hobbit will turn out. I worry that he will make them far more like LotR -- darker, deeper -- than The...
People I've run into always say they like Perelandra the best. I don't really know which one would be my favorite; they're all so different, and I appreciate...
Following this line of reasoning, then, I guess an "atom" would also be a myth? Then it is not that we no longer make myths, but we are not conscious of our...
Yes Perelandra. And 'Til We Have Faces is sublime. I'm still digesting Robert's myth post. A great piece and I will respond later. I've got to get back to...

... I read "Perelandra" first of the space trilogy, but liked it least. I liked "Out of the silent planet" more, though, perhaps because it had moral and...

This book is one of the very best Sci-Fi books I've ever read. It ranks with Orson Scott Card's Enders Series, CW and CSL. Perhaps in many ways it's better...
I didn't care at all for Ender's Game. I'm not big on the IQ == Übermensch philosophy. So much more goes into being human than just raw processing power. ...
This is just an intro of myself! Joined yesterday, after one of your members mentioned the list - thanks Ann! I am an admirer of all the Inklings, so am...
