What if Lewis were alive today?

The man. The myth.

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.

Those are the new covers for his books. So i would have not thought so either. I think that you guys misunderstood:) I said I want to swim and dive in his wisdom

Considering the amount of time Ransom spent in the sea in Perelandra, I would not be surprised if Lewis had the occasional swim. Maybe he was not a sportsman, and I don't know much of his personal life, but he was child at some stage :blush:
And to have the imagination he did, he must have done some awesome things as a kid!!!
It seems as though he really got involved and saturated himself with the things he wrote about. He knew them on a different dimension. It is almost as he had somebody working on the 'inside' of all the different worlds that he wrote about.

I think he might have used Hollywood to his advantage. Even though he might not at all felt comfortable with it. I'm sure he'd know that the population was not reading as much.
Without my friends or cousins, I don't make sense. Life would be somewhere not worth my time.

Do you think he would feel out of place in today's world? Would there be anything he would have liked about the last 40 years?[/quote]

I think he would wish he's dead!!!
If he lived in South Africa he woul probably be walking with a gun in his pocket, with all his most best belongings on his back, and watching every corner and hiding place... LOL :lol:

If you are thinking if it realy is that bad...
I've already got an answer... YES!!!!!! It realy is that bad!!!!!
Here in JHB (Johannesburg) where I stay you can't walk alone in the street. And I don't mean only at night, I mean night and day!!! :undecided:

Only a month ago a teenager was cut into pieces with a Mescheti, right across the street where I live...
Is that groosim or what???? :shocked:

Every second person has a pistol or something, somewhere!!
Even we have one... The police is never any help e.g A year or two ago someone broke into our car and we are still waiting for the police!

So you get the picture!!!
C. S. Lewis would rather commit suicide than live in S.A
