Yeah, like we care, LOL. I'd be more curious to know if they had sex *after* they got married :-)

Sayer seems to think they did have sex after they got married.

I am (re)reading Mere Christianity for a book discussion group that meets in Lansdowne, and I have to say I am finding Lewis insufferable. His condescending, priggish tone -- especially when accompanied by a phony Uriah-Heep type of humility -- is nauseating. And he's completely ignorant of other religions -- but that doesn't stop him from making pronouncements about them, that is, about the superiority of Christianity to them. Bleh!

In the six-degrees-of-separation department: the woman Lewis married (Joy Davidman) was the foster mother of my stepmother's best friend -- took her in when she ran away from home at the age of thirteen. I think she (Anita, the woman whom Davidman rescued) found it somewhat incomprehensible that her mentor ended up with Lewis -- and converted to Christianity.

That's interesting story. I read some of Lewis' essays, mostly about books and such. He had some interesting comments about reading. But I do understand what you mean by priggish.
