		G.K. Chesterton, A Starter Course ^Votes:0 A Starter Course on G.K. Chesterton Why the Interest? My father was an English major at college at the time that I was learning to read. He gave me a reading list, and no, Chesterton wasn't on it, though it seems like everyone else was: Swift, Orwell, Wells, Verne, Defoe, etc. I read everything, although a lot of it I didn't understand. Then when I was thirteen or so I checked out "The Father Brown Omnibus" one day -- and I was hooked. I'd never read anything like it. I had never read a writer whose writing made me think, "This person knows how to write!" Chesterton was that first find. I knew nothing about Catholics, or even much about late 19th century England, but loved Chesterton's writing. I have read and re-read the Father Brown stories over the years. It was over twenty years before Read More Go to Site
