OMW, I loved "Out of the Silent Planet". I'd tried picking it up years ago, and couldn't get into it; revisited at a coworker's encouragement, and I'm so glad I did. I felt like I was coming home to a world and writing style I loved. Lewis is a master for a reason -- and this book absolutely shows that. (Inklings fans will also see many parallels between Ransom and Tolkien ... Lewis intentionally based the character on his friend. Love it!) If you like sci-fi/fantasy, you'll like this book. If you like Narnia and Lewis's other works, you'll like this book.
