Responses to my readings in the Inklings. I'm working on a project for which I have set the goal to read-- or re-read-- everything written by an Inkling. Broadly defined this includes C S Lewis, J R R Tolkien, Owen Barfield, Charles Williams, Warnie Lewis, Dorothy Sayers, and G K Chesterton, plus assorted others as they appear necessary.

To begin . . .
I've decided to start with CSL's Allegory of Love, which I finally got on ebay for under $50. And I'll also start Tolkien's The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun, which I just got, too. In January I'll be re-reading CSL's Ransom trilogy with my Special Topics class. I've got a couple books on Lewis as well to read along with those. I always like to read a work of fiction along with a critical work--seems to be a nice way to balance things and helps me look at the fiction from new angles.
