Fans of C. S. Lewis discussion

As we're lucky enough to have in this new group a few big Lewis enthusiasts, I was wondering whether anyone might be up for leading a reading-club discussion.

Two potential approaches would be ...
* Pick a book that few/none of us have read, read it, and then have an unmoderated discussion
* Have someone volunteer to guide a discussion on Lewis book that impacted them

Anyone up for this? I just finished my first reading of The Great Divorce and liked it so much I'm going through it a second time. I'd be happy to guide a discussion on it within the next week or so.

Who's in? :-)

That would be great. I have read The Great Divorce many times, but I would be interested in the discussion.

Thanks Ron! I've been "laid low" these past few weeks with a summer-term MBA course that's occupying all my reading time. So I probably can't make good on my promise for another couple of months. But I'm keen for a Divorce discussion, as there's much ground to cover and much we can learn from each other.

Hi Walt :-)
Would the discussion be online, sort of like this? Or were you talking about something else?

Bit like this. I envisioned a series of threads, probably chapter-based. For each chapter there'd be one or two initial questions to get us rolling, and we'd then see how things progressed.

To be honest, I've not given too much thought to the format. I'm up for getting a good conversation rolling in any way possible :-)

Great! I think I have the book but if not I will definitely get it. The Screw Tape Letters would be a great discussion as well.. Let me know the schedule and I am all in :-)

Great book! I'm reading (just started) the Discarded Image right now, but would certainly take a little time to participate in a discussion on the Great Divorce.

I haven't read it yet but am sure I have a kindle version downloaded so could hopefully get involved in the discussion in the near future. I'm actually hoping (as long as my tutors approve) to do my dissertation on C. S. Lewis so any discussions would be of interest to me.

Would love to join in a Great Divorce chat. Count me in.

Is this group still active? I want to talk about "Till we Have Faces." I think it may be his best work, and I've been a fan since a very young age.

I too would like to know if this group is active and how a new thread can be started, please.

Kingsley,

This group is inactive but still alive. I had grand plans for a book discussion, but life happened, and I found myself with less time and drive than I'd imagined. I'll have to look into the permissions for this group to see whether/how new threads can be started.

Kingsley,

Investigation complete. Go to https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group... and click the "new topic" link.

Cheers,

Walt

If anyone is interested in a group discussion, I would love to join. I have read some Lewis and find him both easy and difficult, depending on the book. But I suspect his writings may have a lot to say about today's world.

Thanks for doing that, Walt.
