> I trust you read Out of the Silent Planet first?

But of course. I'd never rob myself by reading a series out of order.

> I read Lewis' space trilogy when I was in junior high I think. I really ought to read them again sometime soon.

My thoughts exactly. This is my second time through.

> I managed to get through That Hideous Strength, the third and final novel, but it was difficult. I just didn't "get" a lot of it; but I think if I read the series again, I might understand some of the philosophical passages in them better.

Yeah, I had that problem too. Maybe it'll be easier this time.

> Other thoughts?

If you like Lewis' stuff, don't forget to read Till We Have Faces. That's my favorite of his fiction novels.
