Started 'Till we have Faces', a novel by C.S. Lewis. I quite like this author and reading the first chapter of the book make me think I won't be disappointed this time either.

Lewis is the author of 'Narnia', but he is also (and, imho, foremost) a christian author that has written really deep essays well worth reading even if you're not the religious kind of person (I'm not). A book like 'The Abolition of Man' should be considered a must read to anyone worrying about the type of society we're building today.

It's a (short) collection of 3 (or is it 4?) lectures he did back in 1942 aimed at... British bomber pilots (young people expected to erase entire cities) in which he discusses what it means to educate children and why it should matter how we decide to do it. He also points out how easily education can be used to create... a lesser, smaller, or heartless, kind of humanity, or no humanity. Hence the title of the book. A great book.
