I’m reading THE MYTHMAKERS - THE REMARKABLE FRIENDSHIP OF C.S.LEWIS & J.R.R.TOLKIEN by @johnhendrix.bsky.social and it is extraordinary—wondrous and imaginative and informative. And it gives me so much joy to follow the lion and the wizard on this journey through the lives of Lewis and Tolkien.

Finished "The Mythmakers" by @johnhendrix.bsky.social last weekend in essentially one session.
What a wonderful book - heartwarming, encouraging, sometimes sad and melancholic.
Wholeheartedly recommended.

At the New Year's Eve party I attended, conversation turned to Dietrich Bonhoeffer (as it does), so I had to recommend @johnhendrix.bsky.social THE FAITHFUL SPY to those gathered. #GraphicNovels are a hard sell to my age group!

There’s just a smidge of 2024 left. Calling it a night before the midnights. It finished the year off strong with one last GN for the year. @johnhendrix.bsky.social and his Mythmakers really blew my socks off. I have long obsession with Lewis and his works. This was an inspiration.

Realised that my literary diet has been formed of quite dry academic papers of late. This book by @johnhendrix.bsky.social has been a poignant read and visual delight over the Christmas break, and encouraged me to suggest better (i.e., more esoteric) names for the niche communities I start/join.
