Who influenced CS Lewis?

I love reading books by CS Lewis. Hs way of thinking is engaging and inspiriing to me. When I heard about "From the Library of CS Lewis," I was intrigued, eager to explore the writings of men and women who influenced Lewis. The book does not disappoint. It is packed with exerpts from a variety of authors. An excellent resource. However, it's not a book that one would sit down and read through. The writings are grouped by topic, but I found them a bit disjointed to simply read one after another. Each had "something to chew on," more like a devotional. I wanted to pause after reading each one to ponder its truths. I think it will be an excellent resource in the future. Additionally, the book does not go into detail about how each writer influenced Lewis. I received this book for free from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
