Eighty pages/four chapters in and there is still nothing that connects this to the previous two so far... I mean, it's not bad, I'm still enjoying it. Just odd so far...
Barbarius commented on The Space Trilogy by C. S. Lewis
This third book seems, currently, completely disconnected from the first two; so far it's about life as a fellow on a college board. Is Lewis just telling us about a day at work? We're almost thirty pages in; where's this going?

Beautiful
5 stars
This was a really beautiful read. It's very short, written intentionally to be read in one sitting. It tells the story of an elderly lady presently in Australia 2023, and when she was five and being removed from her village in Palestine in 1948. And the parallels of what has and hasn't changed in 75 years. Very poignant. Almost poetic. Definitely essential reading to help understand our current times.

Book two, "Perelandra", done. I would've finished it a few nights ago, but I kept dozing off (not for lack of interest!).
