3.0

I've always enjoyed C.S. Lewis's tone, like a kindly old professor writing you a witty letter full of life advice. This book was a nice collection of quotes taken from his novels, essays, and personal correspondence. The quotes are organized under headings like: "Charity", "Faith", "Love", which makes it an ideal book to thumb through, and pick up intermittently.

It was the perfect casual holiday read for me to carry around, since it didn't demand sustained attention, and though it was philosophical, it was quite still very readable. It would also make a good "daily reflection" sort of book for the spiritual set.
