Favorite non-fiction C.S. Lewis Books?

[Josh]

Notes:

Select books which you've read and thought were a bit more than ordinarily good.

The list is not exhaustive, but covers his main works.

I'll follow up with a CS Lewis "fiction" poll as well.

Discuss your thoughts on any of these books as replies to this thread!

Let's see. I voted for God in the Dock, because I love his essays, but Present Concerns is a much better collection. I also really enjoy On Stories.

I collected Lewis for many years, and my favorite non-fiction in my collection is "Beyond the Bright Blur" a limited edition run Lewis printed himself for his friends. One of only 250? copies. It is excerpts from Letters to Malcom.

Til We Have Faces is his best overall work, followed closely by The Great Divorce. And Narnia goes without saying, as long as they are read in the proper order. (by publication)

Yeah, it was kind of hard to create a Lewis non-fiction poll because of all the odd collections, etc...

For instance, one of my favorite Lewis publications is his collected letters. Totally fascinating!

So, I'm curious. With your decidedly weak faith in anything resembling apologetics, what's your take on Lewis' apologetic writings?
