Clive Staples Lewis is, on a personal level, the most influential author in my library.  I have enjoyed his fiction and philosophy, and even bits of his literary critique.  I have greatly enjoyed his work in elucidating the Christian faith.  I can point to no single work of his, however, as having any tremendous and immediate impact upon my life.  Lewis' influence upon me is best described as that of familiarity; I grew up reading his fiction and continue to read books in the many genre's of his works.  I find myself at home in his mind.  His peculiar blend of logical mental capacity and poetic mental outlook, his characteristic intellectual humility, and his common sense approach to ideas have greatly influenced my way of thinking and perceiving.
