In the spring of 2018, I decided to begin reading through the major works of C.S. Lewis, in an effort to better understand a writer I thought I knew. The bibliography below is arranged chronologically, updated as I read, and links are to reviews when I’ve written them. An asterisk marks the books that, for one reason or another, I’ve skipped for now.
