Lewis started out agnostic, latter becoming atheist. Tolkien converted him, he out survived most of his friends. He was pretty orthodox towards the end.

Is this supposed to back up an argument or just a random fact of information...?

Random fact, I would say.

He said that Lewis was in fact ultra orthodox, in response to Bowles comment

Narnia was required reading for me. In eighth grade. They were somewhat childish, even then. That is, not counting undertones.

Yes, it tells us so much about Stroud. How he doesn't appreciate religious undertones in books, he's probably not very religious, maybe even *gasp* liberal!Random wrote: Does any part of this thread matter?
Also, his books probably are not a commentary on society and culture today, which is sad because it may have worked. Like how societies where magicians ruled for a long time often crumbled from within? It's a bit of a stretch, but we could have draw parallels to the moral corruption in the rulers of our failed societies, like Caligula, Ancient Egypt, maybe even Hitler and Stalin.

Actually, I'm glad his books aren't, for the most part, like that. I'm glad there can exist a trilogy of great books that aren't one sided.Luciene wrote:Yes, it tells us so much about Stroud.
