� It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased. � � C.S. Lewis

I skimmed through this filth and found a new appreciation for the tame gore porn of today, as well as the Nazi book burnings of last century. Unfortunately they missed this copy printed in 1980, but its 1142 pages could make for good tinder in WW3. 3/10 - No good except as blood libel. ]]>
