Secret Knowledge, Preaching the Gospel, and the Burden of Obvious Superiority
"You are a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I am very fond of you; but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all!"
"Thank goodness!’ said Bilbo laughing, and handed him the tobacco jar.
~J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
"She's the sort of woman who lives for others - you can tell the others by their hunted expression.”
~C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

What I've Been Reading: Late January 2022
For some reason (the reason is Tumblr. And the constant buzz of home renovation making coherent thought difficult the past week), I haven't been reading as much lately: I've started several books, but have only finished one since last post! So here is a single book review for you, and a renewed determination to read more in February for me. Enjoy!

What I've Been Reading: Early January 2022
Happy "What I've Been Reading" 2022! This year I'm going to try to actually keep up with my reviews rather than just dumping all of them into twelve blog posts at the end of the year.

The Story I Want to Believe
"One word, Ma'am," [Puddleglum] said… "One word. All you've been saying is quite right, I shouldn't wonder… So I won't deny any of what you said. But there's one thing more to be said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things— trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one…. That's why I'm going to stand by the play-world. I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia…. We're leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for Overland."
