📚 Finished reading: The Space Trilogy by C. S. Lewis:
- Out of the Silent Planet: A space travel story that is closer in flavor to Jules Vernes than Isaac Asimov. Had to remember that Martian channels were still a thing back in 1938. More nudity than I expected for a book of that time.
- Perelandra: What if you could be there when the serpent persuaded Eve to take a bite of the apple? With even more nudity, and a tedious end sequence that is more fit for an early Disney cartoon.
- That Hideous Strength: A biting satire of bureaucracy and social striving, with body horror, even more nudity, and a delicious R-rated end sequence that is as far away from Disney as you could possibly imagine even if again animals play a crucial role. It is twice the size of the first two books combined and well worth the time spent savoring it.
