We had to bury my ninety-one year old(paternal) grandmother last week, and just before she passed, she had said, "I just saw Pap-Paw, and he said that it's time to come home." It was a beautiful sentiment, and it is not the first time that I've had friends or family have an out of body experience when being close to death.

Have you read C.S. Lewis' The Great Divorce.

A fascinating book, and I personally loved it and the rest of his works.

If only the same could be said of my post.

PS: Its pretentious to call a book a "work"

A lot of books that I bought were compilations of several books, hence that title "works", such as
"The Collected Works of C.S. Lewis"

more..descriptive perhaps than any pretentious intent.

Oh, fine. I can't stay mad at you.

Why would it be pretentious to call a book a work?

work - a product produced or accomplished through the effort or activity or agency of a person or thing.

With that definition, there is no value statement as to the importance of the product.
