G.K. Chesterton

Chesterton is an author of amazing breadth, and when I read him I seldom fail to learn to see something familiar in a new and strange way. In addition, he speaks volumes of common sense on topics better known for uncommon nonsense.

I can't hope to introduce him properly here; read the reviews below, and if you want to know more, then hie thee to the pages of the American Chesterton Society.
