  Wow, these are great (or should I say, these are GOOD!). It's a really interesting way to view & describe the world.

  Thanks!

  Chesterton is amazing

  I think GKC is one of the most underrated authors of the 20th century. He's brilliant, funny, and insightful - and tells some fantastic stories.

  Manalive is wonderful. The Napoleon of Notting Hill is another great Chesterton novel, and I'd round out my top 3 with The Ball And the Cross. It's about two guys trying to find a "safe" place for a duel - and being chased across London by the cops. They get to know each other and end up having a deep theological debate as they jump hedges and race through the city & country in their effort to stay ahead of the bobbies.

  Can't say enough good stuff about Chesterton. I hope you enjoy his stuff!

  Manalive

  This approach to bringing smiles and liveliness to people reminds me of Innocent Smith, the main character in G.K. Chesterton's amazing novel Manalive.

  Mr. Smith meets, proposes to and marries a young lady, then is accused of polygamy when it turns out he's already married, a charge he does not deny. The twist? He's already married to the aforementioned young lady, and this charade is something he does just for fun.

  Wonderful book - check it out!
