I used to have that book on tape. It was read by John Cleese. Just hearing John Cleese say "My dear Wormwood" made the tape worth listening to.

I have no idea what you are saying with the passage from Screwtape. I read everything Lewis wrote years ago and loved most of it. He is a brilliant man and terrific scifi writer, but on SI I would rather read Joewords than long Rand or Lewis passages with no discernible point.
He seems to be suggesting that we should go out to lunch, or maybe that we're already there, which I can believe.

Yes, I would prefer Joewords as well (thank you Rambi for such a nice new one, incidentally). They are so much more interesting!

What on earth does the passage mean?

Very insightful selection joe. Let those who have ears to hear and eyes to see appreciate that. Everybody else wont get it no matter how much you try to explain it, so not to worry.
