I honestly just wasn’t a huge fan of the series. I thought some of the topics were rather interesting but for the most part, I simply didn’t think these books were at the same level as the rest of his writing…

I much prefer more intense books too, makes this weeks topic very easy

The first book I read in the series was “Perlandra.” I found the avoid-the-Fall discussion to be fascinating. I also like “Out of the Silent Planet.” I couldn’t finish this one, though. It’s got some pretty disturbing, weird things in it. I think that’s partly because Lewis is presenting Earth as a planet occupied by “the Enemy.” Also, this book is about the married couple and only follows Ransom’s story as a shoot off of the protagonists’ story. Still love the first two; maybe I’ll try this one again.

I often get comments on the depressing and/or scary nature of what I like to read… what can I say, I’m strange

Thanks The cover photo actually looks a lot like my mother when she was young as well. I got the idea for the theme when I was looking through some old photo albums and saw that there was a rather large collection of pictures where I was heavily engrossed in a book. It grew from there. Glad you enjoy the site

I absolutely love the art you use. The cover shot of the little girl reading looks just like my wife when she was young, it reminds me of our kids every time I look at it. Very cool site.

She’s definitely one of my favorites too. I feel like so many people downplay how good her books are because they are embarrassed by the fact that they like her work.

Yah… I need to tackle the whole series again before I read Reached just to get it back in my head.

Hey!

Love that you put Stephenie Meyer as number one! She is definitely my favourite author and I can’t wait for The Host movie coming out soon. There is actually a cool contest I came across where we can win free screening tickets to The Host and a Twilight prize pack . Here is a link in case you want to share it with any of your readers:

I’ve read a stand alone as well and I’m not a huge fan but I feel like it’s one of those series that you simply have to read at some point… hence it’s placement on the list

Great list! The Foundation series was on mine until I finally picked up an Isaac Asimov book (Nemesis–thankfully, it’s a standalone). I can’t read seven books with that kind of dialogue, no matter what it says about my nerd cred.

Happy reading!
