| 1. Orthodoxy (Unicorn Books) | 
|
By: G. K Chesterton
Publisher: Sheed & Ward
1939
This book is pure brilliance. I only recently came across Chesterton as something more than a name I had heard. This is the first book by him that I have read, and I have to express awe and great pleasure with it. Chesterton has this wonderfully peculiar way of presenting a successive argument (in a light, almost flippant manner) that gains strength and cogency as it unfolds. Peppered within his arguments... more

| 2. The man who was Thursday: A nightmare (The Permanent Chesterton series) |
|
By: G. K Chesterton
Publisher: Sheed and Ward
1975
I liked this novel well enough, and would recommend it, but I nevertheless liked Chesterton's other masterpiece, The Napoleon of Notting Hill, better. This is a strange and mysterious story, with the battle against the anarchists being largely intellectual. I didn't understand the last chapter very well. ... more

| 6. What's Wrong with the World: New World Chesterton |
|
By: G. K Chesterton
Publisher: New World Chesterton, Sheed and Ward
1956
It's amazing to read a book written so long ago that is so applicable today; probably more so in the U.S. than in any other modern country. Chesterton brings clarity to yet another topic, as is his MO for most of his writings. He even makes a compelling suggestion that the liberals and the conservatives are in cahootz to keep the lower classes oppressed for their own benefit. It is difficult to... more
