C.S. Lewis wrote some amazing books, began reading them in high school along with Jane Austen's...they both got me into reading.

His Narnia series was amazing. George MacDonald helped to tutor him. Have you read his Screwtape letters?

Have you ever watched the BBC dramatizations of Dame Agatha's books, or any of the Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett?

Robert Downey Jr. is the first Sherlock I ever saw. Benedict was a little eccentric.

I have a book of poetry from about 30 different authors I picked up at a antique store. But alas, I forgot to mention my most favorite Author of them all, Shakespeare.

I wasn't arguing with you, Saphirra. I am sorry that my sharing my opinion made you feel that way.
