Book For February

The Screwtape Letters

So Here is the book for February: The Screwtape Letters, by C.S. Lewis. This is a brief summary from the web: (CSLewisclassics.com)

"A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below." At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging and humorous account of temptation -- and triumph over it -- ever written."

It's a great read, enjoy!

I thought the book was a bit tricky. I couldn't read it when I was tired, and even then I couldn't let myself get caught up in a word or passage that I didn't quite understand. It was definitely worth it though- it has a great message in a hilarious style.
