>#67, #75: I've just mooched Till We Have Faces. I have an conflicted attitude to Lewis, but that does sound good. And i've wishlisted The Penelopiad because it came up on the Faces recommendations. Thanks guys!

>86 I loved Till We Have Faces. It was in my best books this year list. I'm currently reading The Murderers Among Us (a very heavy recounting of the Holocaust and subsequent Nazi hunt). After that, I'm planning Moonra ...

Happy reading, K! I finished Till We Have Faces, but am still working on Little, Big. I've also started Into the Wild by Erin Hunter, which is the first book in a children's series about warrior cats. It's been madly popular at both libraries I've worked at, so I thought I'd better see ...

#67Ooh foggi Till We Have Faces is good. I just finished The Sun Also Rises I am trying to bring about a reconcilation between myself and Hemingway. I just started The Pilgrim Hawk I seem to be stuck in books by or about the lost generation right now.

I'm rereading an old favorite, Till We Have Faces.

The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe Till We Have Faces by C. S. Lewis Shoeless Joe by W. P. Kinsella As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me by Josef M. Bauer The Crack-up by F. Scott Fitzgerald

... paired with Macbeth; Lord of the Flies is illuminated by Euripides' The Bacchae; C. S. Lewis's marvellous Till We Have Faces is a retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche; also, Brokeback Mountain pairs nicely with Alice Munro's "The Turkey Season" found in The Moons of J ...

... Hopefully I will get to read that and a few more of the intriguing titles mentioned here. I'm particularly interested in Till We Have Faces. I had never heard of it before this thread, but it sounds fascinating. Incidentally, I hated The Penelopiad. I am usually a big Margaret Atwood ...

Also worth mentioning is C.S. Lewis's Till We Have Faces which is a retelling of the Greek Myth of Psyche and a very good book as well.

... copies of this, but this one had a prologue by G.K. Chesterton, so I couldn't resist) Mom surprised me by bringing home Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis home as an un-birthday gift. :)

10. Till We Have Faces Reading the Cupid and Psyche myth with one of my classes at school and reading one of C.S. Lewis's letters where he explained a little bit about this book made me want to re-read it. I was not disappointed!

Oh, I love Til We Have Faces. Lewis has a wonderful way of turning that story on its head. It's about time I reread that one...

... more magical realism, a great read. I would say that Lewis' space trlogy is SF, but he also wrote the wonderful Till We Have Faces, a retelling of the Cupid and Psyche myth, which I would call a fantasy. In addition to the Prydain series, Lloyd Alexander wrote another YA fantasy ...

Sounds like a good idea, and so here goes: Started out on Oct 30, 2007 Completed: 1. Till We Have Faces - C.S. Lewis (Finished Nov. 3) 319 pgs 2. I, Claudius - Robert Graves (Finished Nov 14) 432 pgs Till We Have Faces - I thought that Lewis did an excellent job approaching the ...

... young adults. We took several detours along the way; The Road Less Traveled and Why Bad Things Happen to Good People and Til We Have Faces. (wonky touchstone here.) We found it quite liberating, but none of us felt God's "answer" was much of an answer. I have spent a more than half my ...

... to the "deep magic" we find in other places in the Chronicles. Now to put all my cards on the table, I have to admit that Til We Have Faces is my favorite Lewis book, and that constitutes my "canon within the canon" when it comes to Lewis. Back when I was a high school fundamentalist, that ...

... find that most fantasy fans are pretty open-minded about reading children's as well as adult books.) And I almost forgot Till We Have Faces -- possibly my favorite C. S. Lewis book, though not as well-known as his other fiction. It's the "Cupid and Psyche" myth retold from the ...

... I was very relieved that I didn't have to go on and read more. I guess it's a bit borderline as fantasy, but how about Till We Have Faces?

Review for Till We Have Faces posted.

I finished Till We Have Faces. I'll have a review up shortly.

... Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult that day. It's not going as quickly as I hoped - it's not up to the standard of We have to Talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver which is the same topic (school shooting). Went to a library sale today and got 22 books. Am I crazy? yes.

Shortride, your turn. Go review 'Til We Have Faces.

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold Till We Have Faces by C. S. Lewis Skeletons by Kate Wilhelm Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood The Chin Kiss King by Ana Veciana-Suarez

... CS Lewis, George R.R. Martin, Robin Hobb, L. Frank Baum FAVOURITE BOOK(s): The Lord of the Rings, Till we Have Faces, Illusion, Ill Made Mute, Gormenghast trilogy, Catspaw, A Game of Thrones, Ender's Game, The Complete Calvin and Hobbes, The Last Unicorn ...

... think I prefer Tolkien as a whole becase of his world building skills. Lewis might have won if he wrote all his work like Till We Have Faces, my favorite Lewis book, in which the allegory is much subtler.

Finished in April 16. Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold by CS Lewis -A fascinating retelling of the mythological tale of Cupid and Psyche told through the eyes or Orual, on of Psyche's sisters. Lewis brings the mythological figures into modern times and makes them someone we can relate to ...

I'm in the middle of Till We Have Faces: a myth retold by CS Lewis

... Battle That said, here's a webpage about the reading order Till We Have Faces is also a wonderful book, but very different than Narnia. I haven't read Miracles yet, but I would highly recommend The Four Loves and Surprised by ...

Mac66 in Christianity : Current Reading? (Mar 24, 2007, 7:23pm)

Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis Great book, under appreciated.

... books on ebay just two days ago and were delivered to a delighted me today, at a total cost of £5, plus p&p charges: The Myth of Independence by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, published in 1969; The Terrorist Prince - The Life and Death of Murtaza Bhutto incidently, written on ZAB's not-so-wo ...

... ock And I know C.S. Lewis has already been mentioned, but don't forget he wrote other novels besides the Narnia series. Till We Have Faces is probably his best adult novel, and his sci-fi trilogy is also fairly interesting.

... only come into my consciousness as a "classic" because The Modern Library tells me so, but I'm slowly making my way through We by Yevgeny Zamyatin, the "powerful new translation" by Natasha Randall. It's about a dystopian future where mankind is yoked by a totalitarian ideology based ...

I tried to read Till We Have Faces several times when I was in high school. I knew a girl who absolutely loved it and urged me to read it on the assumption that I would love it too. I hated it. Couldn't get more than halfway through it. Perhaps I should try it again.

For me, it was Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis. I had bought it and put it on the shelf just to finish out the Lewis library, but kind of dreaded reading the re-telling of a Greek myth. Shame on me for underestimating Lewis. I picked it up out of desperation last year and will probably read ...

A "must have" no one has mentioned is We by Yevgeny Zamyatin. As a (sub)-genre founding work, it really stands the test of time. http://www.greenmanreview.com/book/book_zamyatin_we.html And there is a well made ...

Parcequifaut & Opinicus, It's not We but thanks for the try. It's that strawberries and cream thing that I'm hoping someone remembers. I don't think it's British, could be wrong though, it's been 30+ years. And thanks for the Stump The Bookseller link!!!! EC

Elusive... Could it be We by Evgeni Zamiatin? I'm not sure because I haven't read that book in years and most of mine are in boxes (hateful things)...but I seem to remember the strawberries and cream. Read that book anyway, it's awesome. I don't know why LT is linking Till We Have Faces ...

... by Laura Cerwinske. It sounds like a book similar to what gavroche suggested Word that Hurt, Words that Heal. Now, We has been mentioned before and it's appearing again! Have to take a look at it. Keep it coming!

... I'd like to ask what you think of Dostoevsky's "case for the prosecution," so to speak, and about the same case in Lewis' Till we have Faces. It has always really struck me that the first part of this novel is about three times as long as the second. Is it so much easier, in some sense, to ...
