Choosing Hell... CS Lewis's The Great Divorce now a free e-book on fadedpage.com

Fadedpage.com is a great website run by volunteers who produce excellent free downloadable online books from authors out of copyright - your one-stop shop for Biggles or Enid Blyton, for instance. 

Well, they have just made available The Great Divorce by CS Lewis - which I regard as the best book I've ever read about sin, repentance, and what makes people choose Hell. 

If you haven't already read TGD: why not try it?

Sold! This is one I've been meaning to read. Now I have no excuse. Thanks!

@Frank - The trouble is that TGD is a very unappealing and inaccurate title (based on an obscure reference) - and always has been. Maybe if Lewis had called it something like "A bus trip to Heaven" (which it is) it might have been read more often?

What a great recommendation! I dimly recall reading TGD decades ago, but now I'm not so sure...

In any case, perfect companion for my flight on Friday.
