WoW! I've got alot to cover!
I really wish I was as good with words as most of you are, [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] but I will say what I can...
Elanor,
TolkienGurland
elvenchristian,you have said exactly what I feel within my heart every time I read Tolkien or Lewis.
Also,though Tolkien did greatly influence Lewis' salvation, afterwards you cannot tell who influnced the other the most, becuase in fact,they influenced
each other!

It was inevitable that Lewis and Tolkien meet,it was not inevitable that they should become friends ~The Magic Never Ends~

at the meetings of "the inklings" the group of authers had a unique opportunity to critique each others writings.
Hmm... as to my favourite book....in the Narnia series it is
The Magicians Nephew,perhaps because I am so interested in creation,indeed it boggles my mind that God is so powerful...yet he is!
Mere Christianityis such a great book I cannot even say whether i like it or not,it is simply
great,Lewis is a geneous for writing a book so logical,it can hardly be dissagreed with-the reader is forced to believe it!!!
The Lord of The Rings trilogy is the best of its kind,and really,I have to say that both Tolkien and Lewis remind me of Gandalf [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Hey! I had'nt thought of the comparison between Saul and Denethor...it is fascinating what the human mind is capable of!
WoW I cant believe I said this much...
and I still have more to say!!!!!!!
