January 14th Humor In C.S. Lewis

Our meeting in January is a theme meeting with the theme "Humor in C.S. Lewis."  Frankly C.S. Lewis was very humorous.  He loved joking around with his friends and a lot of his humor got into his books, essays, and letters.  Come up with some of your favorite examples and join us at the Barnes and Noble in Harrisonburg on the evening of 14 January, the second Thursday, at 7:30 p.m.  You can usually find us camped out around a table somewhere in the bookstore nursing a cup of coffee and maybe a scone or such.  Good conversation.  Great fun!  Bring a friend!
