Why do I think Mark Twain wrote the Screwtape Letters? This is a book that was blacklisted for a while - that's the only reason I bought it. Actually I thought it was boring and I didn't finish it, but maybe it's worth a revisit.
I don't pick up on a lot of Christian symbolism in Narnia, and that's the way I like it. My brain is probably blocking it on purpose because I don't tend to like heavy religious symbolism in books. (The Pendragon Cycle by Stephen R. Lawhead is another brilliant series steeped in Christian symbolism, but unlike Narnia, you can't "read past it".)
