I'm not a "pro" but have been reading this newsgroup for more than 8 years.
This group used to have in-depth discussions. Since the demise of Merelewis
and wane of this group I've since seen many CSL sites. Dr. Zeus is one that
has been recommended. But it's huge, and too complicated, not immediate or
personal as this group once was. The Merelewis mail list is no longer
operating, but it used to be the best discussion group of CSL works, beside
this one.
What I always loved about alt.books.cs-lewis was the immediacy of response.
And the getting to know participants. Andrew Rilstone used to post here.
He has a blog you can find through Google search. Author David Porter, and
other authors.
CSL's wife's son Doug Gresham used to post here- and of course he lived with
CSL.
I wish I knew where to tell you to find great discussions of CSL works.
I'd love for you to post here, of course! And you could get some good
discussion going, I would hope. (You'll notice my use of the conditional
tense.
Many of us have most of CSL's works and regularly consult them,
have made copious notes, studied his apologetics, as well as works of
fiction and poetry. I IMO he's right up there with the most important
Christian writers in at least a century. And most of us who used to post
here could tell you why we think that.
I also belong to the Charles Williams moderated mail Yahoo group-
coinherence-l. There is where I get my Inkling fix mostly. But exclusively
CSL? I wouldn't know where to send you.
Maybe you'll get better answers from others lurking here.
Blessings,
Ann
