I recommend that you stick with books that have pictures.

I agree, BizzyBee.
Lewis helped many to embrace Christianity and not feel so badly about it.
He uses lots of words and stuff.

I've never read Mere Christianity. I do like C.S. Lewis though. What you posted sounds like a rather poor example of his writing. The Screwtape Letters, When We Have Faces, Chronicles of Narnia, etc. all have a Christian theme, but are interesting reading.
"Poached egg" ? I can't believe he made that analogy.

Yuuuuummmmmmmmm! Eggs Benedict, my favorite! I'd be a poached egg myself, but I'm only half-baked.
One more thought - Lewis faltered in his faith when his beloved wife died and wrote about it in his classic book on grief. He railed against a god who would so capriciously give such great joy (late in Lewis' life) only to take away after much pain and suffering. I admire his honesty and the way he did not swallow Christian rhetoric whole, but examined it in the light of rationality and real life.

Clueless: C.S. [Clive Staples] Lewis was an Irish author known for has publications in medieval literature, literary criticism, and Christian apologetics - his written defenses of Christianity. Lewis was a friend of J.R.R. Tolkein; both men were on the faculty of Oxford University. Lewis was the author of The Screwtape Letters and The Chronicle of Narnia, among many other publications. Lewis was baptized a Christian but later fell away as an adolescent. Under the influence of Tolkein, Lewis re-converted back to Christianity and wrote defenses of the religion. Lewis was also author of The Four Loves, a book that was assigned to me to read as a graduate student.
