C. S. Lewis: Novelist, Scholar, Broadcaster - Pipe Smoker

[admin]

I enjoyed reading The Chronicles of Narnia when I was a kid, but I never knew that C. S. Lewis was a pipe smoker.
Here's a great new piece by Fred Brown, "C. S. Lewis: Novelist, Scholar, Broadcaster - Pipe Smoker"

Badass, I'm stoked on this one, Kevin!

Good read, Lewis was also (though unmentioned) considered one of the greatest christian apologist of his time.

It was a great article, and Nathaniel is very right, I've been to a couple apologetic talks and his name always comes up

Thanks guys. Please do me a favor and comment on the article too so Fred and other casual readers see it.

Commented on the article as well. C.S. Lewis is still considered one of the greatest Christian philosophers and apologists of our day, and thus, my signature. Mere Christianity and The Weight Of Glory are so rich with meaty statements that a pipe is probably the greatest accompaniment while mulling them over.

Good read...the cake on his pipe shows just how much he liked it!

Learning that he smoked a pipe was the deciding factor that made me take up the pipe.

An enjoyable and informative article, as always. Thanks! So many educated and talented people, pipe smokers all.

It is great to feel an association with such people.
