The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis

I read this book along with the men of the small group I'm part of. C. S. Lewis; he can write some crazy stuff. Good luck with pretty much all of his work outside of The Chronicles of Narnia.

In The Great Divorce, the author is in what is soon to be called Grey Town. He boards a bus and is taken to a place that is a valley beneath mountains. Could this be heaven and he was in hell?

That's the trick of the entire reading. You're not exactly sure what's going on until the end.

As he meets others from both places, revelations are made and you begin to see the argument Lewis is trying to make.

It was fun reading this chapter-by-chapter and discussing the ideas and how the guys interpreted things differently.
