Just finished "That Hideous Strength"
I just finished "That Hideous Strength" by C.S. Lewis, the third and final installment of his space trilogy.
I have to say I was very disappointed with this book. I loved the first two, really loved them. They were so rich in imagery and metaphor. The last one was tough to get through, that's why I put it down the first time. I had to force myself to get through this one hoping that at the end there would be a payoff. The ending had some good stuff, but all in all I think it was a disappointment. You know, leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
I'm finishing up with Wounded Healer and can't wait to jump into a couple books I bought over the Holiday. While we were at an outlet mall a book store had a going out of business sale. Hard covers were $2 and paperbacks a $1. I didn't have much time to browse, but I couldn't resist picking up a couple books at such a great deal.

which books did you buy?
Schopenhauers Telescope - A self-reflexive commentary on war and violence in an unnamed, war-torn European town some time in the 20th century where two men engage in philosophical dialogues on morality and human cruelty. (comments from Amazon)
I've read about 4 or 5 chapters so far it's pretty good
Road Angels - On a bitterly cold November day while living in a small community in the northern Minnesota woods, Nerburn made a sudden, life-changing decision to return to the fondly remembered California coast of his youth. In what became a search for a sense of home, he left behind his supportive wife and young son and began his solo pilgrimage by air, flying out to Seattle, WA. Bringing the reader along on his trek, Nerburn shares his experiences, encounters, and thoughts as he drives along the coastal roads of Washington, Oregon, and California. (Comments from Amazon)
Don't know if I like that one yet. I'm halfway through the 1st chapter. The chapter is very long, way overwritten, and not yet interesting. Glad I only paid a $1.
