A lot more overtly religious than I'd been led to believe from people who told me about this book IRL, but there are still some letters worth meditating on. I found the final "Address" by Screwtape to the college to be the most worthwhile. 

one of the coolest perspectives I've read

Anything by C. S. Lewis should be mandatory reading for all, but especially the very part of this book. It was like he was prophesying the current situation in 2020 America. A great book that left me convicted about how I allow Satan to distract me from my duty as a Christ follower.
