As to Shadowlands, it is the film I wanted to see. Knowing it unavailable at a rental video shop nearby, I've turned to a book, <a href="http://www.amazon.co.jp/Shadowlands-True-Story-Lewis-Davidman/dp/0340908653/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=english-books&qid=1267939293&sr=1-1" rel="nofollow">Shadowlands: A True Story of C.S.Lewis and Joy Davidman</a>. Most of the book is quotes from various publications of C.S.Lewis, W.H.Lewis (older brother of C.S.Lewis), Joy Davidman, and talks or writings of those who have known them well, so it's like reading a brief biography. The story starts right after the funeral service of Joy: Jack is full of despair, pain and doubts. Before their first encounter, many pages describe what made up each of them from their childhood, and then the same story with the film would unfold although the book is not a transcript of the film. I'm still less than halfway through the book. Reading is a nice way to spend a quiet rainy day. I have enjoyed reading the blog entries updated one after another.
