On the other hand , I did not read anything from Lewis. I saw Narnia movies but I am not so fond of them.
Tolkien`s work is extensive and very broad. He was a professor of English language at Oxford and very respected fellow. Through his book from Silmarilion to Lord of the rings and few others connected in between those works he said a lot in a form of epic fiction. He borrowed a lot from Bible and a lot from Norse and Finnish legends. I really like his work because I see his deeper message to us through his works.

Among many curious things he wrote , he presented Sauron ,the evil lord as the lidless eye bathed in fire...Illuminati comes to mind thinking about this... He basically said about him that through his time he was loosing his power and ability to transform. He when created ,was high spirit,(maiar) who could take almost any form but little by little as he was spending his power on hatred and evil deeds he could no take anymore beautiful form, only lidless eye bathed in fire ...

Very interesting topic about Tolkien...

Also we as people who are trying to see and be responsible are constantly being attacked for our soul sake. When you fight evil and its legions they run away...for awhile ...but they always return with vicious attitude and more eager to spiritually destroy you. That is why I think that it is crucial that we know what we are doing, whom we are fighting, who is helping us . Without that knowledge we`re just easy targets just as 99% of the people on the globe!
