My earliest memories of literature were the Hardy Brothers and the Book of Virtues. I got really into the Hardy Brothers mystery stories when I was young and my father always read the Book of Virtues to me. My most recent memories of literature fall mainly under the Christian Inspiriation umbrella. I love C.S Lewis' classics and the philosophical approach of G.K Chesterton. I read G.K Chesterton's book Orthodoxy at a crucial time in my spiritual journey and it played a big role in my life. Literature plays a monumental role in society. Literature is how people express themselves. It's an infusion of emotions, beliefs, stories and ideals that has limitless power.

You touch on a number of interesting things here. I wonder if you could elaborate on some of them, say, on what you think is monumental about the role of literature in society or what it is that you love about the philosophical approach of G.K Chesterton. (As it is now, this post is too short.)
ReplyDeleteAlso, by the way, I read many, many Hardy Boys books as a child.
