Kimchi, not for me

I'm slightly ashamed to admit that I've only recently really starting reading C.S. Lewis. The reason being that the bookstore at my church has begun stocking a handful of English books, and quite a few of that handful are his. I bought the complete Narnia set in Israel and read it there (for the first time, I might add). I got Mere Christianity here at a bookstore before my church bookstore started stocking English books and read it. Then I bought A Grief Observed a few weeks ago, and it is a godsend, because reading it has helped me to know a little bit of what to pray for Bethany and her family, just by bringing the experience of grief fresh to my mind. Then two weeks ago I bought The Great Divorce, and The Weight of Glory (being a repeat buy, as I have a copy in the States, but well worth the 10,000 won). I only started the Great Divorce yesterday, and I finished it today on the subway. It's a really amazing book, of course. But then at dinner tonight I randomly thought of the Caedmon's Call song that mentions something about the "high countries" and I thought I should dig the CD out and listen to it. And the song was amazing before, but having read the book, the song actually made sense. And what an amazing song it is! It's for reasons such as this that I love Caedmon's Call (that, and the fact that "potentiality" is an actual word that actually fits in one of their songs). It's on the Back Home CD, and the title of the song is (appropriately enough) "The High Countries." It's good stuff.

Also, I was reading on some website that I generally respect and trust the author's opinion, and he said something about C.S. Lewis being a mystic. Is that true? I'm gonna go look it up now, but I am just wondering if anyone else has heard this before.
