Got about a third of the way through this. It just wasn't what I expected. Putting the audiobook on hold I didn't see the subtitle, and while that might not have made me not want to read it, it would have changed my expectations. Once the author started referencing Robert Graves's militant atheism, he lost me. There are ways to write about faith and lack thereof, but this book turned me right off. I'd like a book about Tolkien's and Lewis's friendship and the war, but without such a bent to it. My library has an ebook of The Fellowship, about the Inklings; maybe I'll borrow that one day.
