When I read the “Pious Rapper Helps Resurrect Bat” headline I at first was thinking of Bat as in the animal. That was an odd mental picture.

The definitive CS Lewis biography has already been written in my opinion, “The Narnian”, by Wheaton Professor Alan Jacobs. Buy one - it’s fantastic.

Re: Your Brain on Computers: a little warning for the blasphemy would have been nice. Ack!For the rest of you, they take the Lord’s name in vain a lot in that article. If you cringe when you read/hear it, be forewarned.

Haha, that’s a pretty eclectic assortment you have here. I think I’ll check out the CS Lewis biography. I have a first edition copy of “Surprised by Joy,” which is kind of his autobiography and I really enjoyed that one.
