There is no better word to apply to the tone of a book to get me to read it. Could you also make “droll” a part of your everyday vocabulary?

A very dear (Christian) friend of mine has been trying, for nearly 20 years, to cram Lewis down my throat. Admittedly, my throat hurts and I will never be able to swallow, let alone taste, any of it. My children loved the Narnia tales, and I even encouraged them to read them...when I was a child, I spoke and thought like a child.... I (too) strayed from the fold many years ago and I greatly prefer being lost and having no answers. I have grown to love and prefer questions. I cannot speak to Lewis' perspective on most things, but I think I would disagree with most of them. I know my friend's attempts at converting me to seeing things Lewis' (his) way have simply hardened my aging heart. I am glad you liked the book. My friend would be happy that you read it. Be well.

C.S. Lewis used to be my favorite author. Haven't read him since my straying from the fold. I wonder what I'd think of the Screwtape Letters now.
