The title of my blog comes from reading a biography of C. S. Lewis. Before the Inklings, Lewis and Tolkien were in a group, who called themselves "Coalbiters." This group read Icelandic sagas together in Icelandic. Coalbiters is a Norweigian term meaning a group of old men who did nothing all winter, but talk and sit by the fire so closely that they could bite the coals. This blog is to celebrate the writings of the inklings and the study of topics like literature and religion.
