The Great Divorce by CS Lewis

[Sarah G van G]

This evening I am reading The Great Divorce (I am halfway through it) and it is blowing my mind and freaking me out and all the good stuff that great writers can do to a person on a rainy December evening in suburbia.
Am I in hell? Am I a whiner? Do I go around nagging and sighing and complaining and moaning and picking fault?
I do tend to isolate myself and even though I kind of love everybody I do also kind of not like people, haha. I don't want to be in hell with the whiners! This is so life changing!

I was just thinking about this book yesterday. I will see if my library has it so I can re-read it and discuss.

I think the copyright expired on Lewis' work as they are pretty much all available online, if you can deal with ebooks https://barnardsvilleumc.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/ebook-lewis-c-s-the-great-divorce.pdf

No, I don't think so. It may have expired in some countries.

Thank you. I just finished reading it. I kind of wished more people had been saved, to see what became of the scholar if he realized how he'd been so wrong or the woman who hid. Maybe the unicorns did scare her into revealing herself.

Ever since I read it I have noticed how incredibly addicted people are to arguing without even caring if they are right or not. As if arguing is somehow fun. That has been such a profound epiphany for me!

I agree it would be nicer if more people (everyone) were saved but most of them can't even stop arguing long enough to get on the bus

Netflix should make a Black Mirror episode of this book, Charlie Brooker has nothing on CS Lewis!
