First read book of the year! 📚 Out of The Silent Planet by C. S. Lewis Having only read Narnia before, it was interesting to read something Lewis wrote of a different genre & for an adult audience. Beautiful prose, unsurprisingly, and definitely plan to check out the other two books in the series.

I didnt even realize lewis DID anything other than narnia, but knowing him and his general history that makes a lot of sense. I should read this at some point.

Yes he was quite prolific, especially a lot of non-fiction Christianity texts. I think this series is particularly interesting since, it taking place on another planet, it's very exploratory in ideas of philosophy and spirituality and society.

Out of the Silent Planet made a lot more sense to me when I learned that the three species of Mars represent the three parts of the soul according to Plato. It’s a fascinating idea for a sci fi story!
