pickA great book about the four types of love. As with all CS Lewis books I read, I feel like I missed some of it. I am going to have to read it again to absorb more information.
I found this original recording of CS Lewis on archive.org. It adds another level to the book to hear him read it.
pickLewis can get a bit boggy at times for me, when he‘s trying to logically untangle something challenging and complex, but The Four Loves is a beautiful read. It contains one of my favorite quotes (“The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell”) and the part on friendship love is fantastic. We really should talk about brotherly love more.
“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art…. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”
- C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
pickRead a long time ago. But this one part I remember :
" friendship is the only love which doesn't have an intrinsic purpose. It exists for its own sake."
I have that agape love for these loves of my life who adore each other, my granddaughter and her “Uncle”, who is also My Son #kiss #PrinceofJuly
"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” - C.S. Lewis
pickTremendous audiobook, in large part because it‘s read by Lewis himself!
A rather poignant, heavy truth bomb about vulnerability and relationships.
I haven't read many books with "Love" in the title, so here's one from my TBR list! #lovetitles #feistyfeb
Wishing all of my favorite reading humans a happy day with lots of love! ❤️💗💜 Litsy is a virtual community like no other—the redemption of the Internet by way of books! Love and hugs to you all.
HELP! HELP!
I've got a problem. I discovered one of my books is covered in mold. It's bad. The worst part is that it is a first edition of a CS Lewis book and I'm not about to toss that out. Any ideas on how to clean it?
Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .
A day late for #inthemoodforlove. I guess I wasn't in the mood yesterday? ?C.S. Lewis is always a good idea, and his reflections on four types of love are no exception. "There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken..."

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to all who follow me on Instagram and here. I recently hit 100k followers on IG, and am grateful for the friendships I have created here. Thank you for being my kind of people.
After three new acquisitions at the Strand, I'm feeling very pleased with my collection of Christianity-related books - and these are only the ones with me at college! I have a bit more Bonhoeffer and a few other theologians at home, along with a Harper Collins study bible. Now to finish reading them all! #Christianity #religion #theology
We hear a great deal about the rudeness of the rising generation. I am an oldster myself and might be expected to take the oldsters' side, but I have been far more impressed by the bad manners of parents to children than by those of children to parents.
Who has not been the embarrassed guest at family meals where the father or mother treated their grown-up offspring with an incivility which...would simply have termi-
nated the acquaintance?
"Our whole being by its very nature is one vast need; incomplete, preparatory, empty yet cluttered, crying out for Him who can untie things that are now knotted together and tie up things that are still dangling loose."
Finally taking a bit of me time to spiritually recenter myself, with C.S. Lewis as my companion! #theology #religion #Christianity
Here is my great bookish quote from C.S. Lewis! "Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival." Spending the #readathon with one of my best friends has been so much fun! #24in48
