That Hideous Strength (Space Trilogy, Book 3) 89 reviews C.S. Lewis
Scribner, 2003
Simply Incredible
+ Strong writing + A book that requires INTENSITY of THOUGHT (and time)
This is one of my favorite books of all time. I have read a number of the negative reviews, and I can see how someone who doesn't share the religious views of Lewis might be put off. If a reader is not at all open to the possibility of the supernatural then this book might be tough going. But for ...

Robert Asprin's Myth Adventures Volume 1 (Robert Asprin's Myth Adventures) 7 reviews Robert Asprin, Phil Foglio
Meisha Merlin Publishing, Inc., 2006
Total Enjoyment
+ Classic comedy + Great light reading but...
Set back, relax and just have a wonderful time with Skeeve and the group. Asprin paints a picture of social issues with tongue in cheak. Keith Laumer, deceased, did a series on Retrief poking fun at the Beaurocy(sp) that is a hoot and this follows not so much on politics as human nature itself.
