Thanks for the heads up, Dan.
Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.

Here is the link to the Amazon.com wishlist for the Westmont faculty. The books will be mailed to the Lewis Foundation who will get the books to the individual Westmont faculty. I encourage everyone to consider buying a book or two (or more) for these faculty members who have lost their Lewis libraries.

Thanks for the link, Dan. I've just sent off MC and a couple of Screwtapes. :snow-smile:

That's great Karen, thanks! I sent off an MC in my lot as well.

Sent a set of the Cosmic Trilogy, no-one's Lewis collection should be without it.

I'm surprised nobody (unless I've missed it) has quoted in this thread Lewis's suggestion that the only books each of us will have in our library in Heaven are those we have given away or lent (perhaps we could get away with 'recommended' as well?). I fear that my collection will be a bit thin, partly as some of my books are too obscure for almost anyone else to desperately want to read them :anxious:

Man I hope that does not include books I didn't like? That would be rather anti-climatic!
