Argh! I voted for That Hideous Strength, because I wasn't thinking. >.> I really do prefer Till We Have Faces. But THS is good too... it had the greatest effect on my emotions, but TWHF touched the deepest. :cry: It's impossible to choose!

It's hard for me to draw a line between "best book" and book that touched me most. I voted for "The Last Battle" because of it's very powerful positive effect it had on me as a teenager... to me that means it must be very good since back then hardly anything from a Christian author could have had a positive effect on me. However, I consider THS to be just as good, though for different reasons.
Actually, I would need to vote for still more of his books (e.g. the Screwtape Letters), but I guess that doesn't fit in here since the thread asks about one "best book". :smile:

Tough choice. I have not yet read all of those books listed, but i had to vote for Perelandra. As much as I like Narnia, The Great Divorce, God in the Dock and Screwtape, i cannot go past the Cosmic Trilogy...

I voted for Last Battle, I would have voted for Horse & His Boy as well, but considering they weren't together...they're the two Lewis books which more than any other of his writings have impacted me hugely - but he has the ability to do that with any of his writing, of course! :grin:

I voted for LWW, even though I liked it just as much as The Last Battle and TWHF...

They were all terrific! :dance:
Though I love all of the books that I've read that C. S Lewis wrote!
