I read 'Surprised by Joy' I don't know what I expected but when it got to 
the part where he climbed into the sidecar of his brother's motorcycle 
mostly a Northern heathen and arrived at the zoo a Christian I thought I'd 
missed something.

Tolkien was miffed after doing the propaganda that it was a COE Christian 
and not a Catholic one.

We read 'The Screwtape Letters' in grade school but the theology went over 
my head.
