I'm the librarian for two C.S. Lewis classes next semester and I've never read this one!
Just in the nick of time! :-)
This one seems very timely for our society to me. In fact in telling my husband about it he began saying that someone needed to turn it into a talk they could give at parishes around town.
Here's a favorite quote from it, which I just heard to my delight in Lewis's own voice:

Here's a favorite quote from it, which I just heard to my delight in Lewis's own voice:
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
