Just curious as to the reasoning why this book was moved. Was it moved to a different year or just taken off?
Seems like a wonderful book to come off the list.

Hgray, did you see all of this? I thought I'd bump it back up again. I'll try to send you an email, too, with my special admin privileges.

The Problem of Pain was always a back-up book, one to use if the main book had already been read. I wasn't part of the discussions about which books to keep, but I can speculate.  This is an excellent book, but it's not one that should displace any of the books that are currently on the schedule. Also, I think most students would appreciate this book more at an older age, in my opinion.
I am really looking forward to using the new schedule. I was already paring down the old one. The addition of the biographies was something I hadn't expected but am excited about. Missionary biographies helped me so much as a young person, and I see that they could be important for my kids as well.

Confirming what Kathy said. It's okay to have some C.S. Lewis left to discover after high school. I am only now starting to understand Till We Have Faces, in my fifties.
