Just finished Screwtape Letters. It is a wonderfully thought-provoking read, and I can't resist posting one final quote:
[A loving Christian household] bears a sickening resemblance to the description one human writer made of Heaven: 'the regions where there is only life and therefore all that is not music is silence.' Music and silence--how I detest them both! How thankful we should be that ever since our Father entered Hell . . . no square inch of infernal space and no moment of infernal time has been surrendered to either of those abominable forces, but all has been occupied by Noise . . .
--Screwtape, C.S. Lewis's senior devil
