Surprised By Joy

This memoir of C.S. Lewis's life before he became a Christian is fine but not anything that really gripped me. I think because he studied languages and philosophy, so much of his reference points are to the perspectives of various ancient writers and thinkers, few of whom I was familiar with. And in the end, his adoption of a Christian faith was very much a philosophical shift, which is interesting to think about in apologetics but not a very compelling read. I'm glad to know this background of Lewis, but I look forward to reading his more thought-provoking works.
