| 1. |  | The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare (Modern Library Classics) from Modern Library Price: $8.95 Customer Review:  To this point in my life, I've now read three works by Chesterton: his epic poem The Ballad of the White Horse and his biography of Saint Thomas Aquinas. The Man Who Was Thursday is a completely different work from the abovementioned pair. It is subtitled "A Nightmare" and that's exactly how it... |

| 5. |  | The Complete Father Brown Stories (Wordsworth Classics) (Wordsworth Collection) from Wordsworth Editions Ltd Price: $4.99 Customer Review: The Complete Father Brown Stories is a misnomer for the title of this book of mystery stories by G.K. Chesterton. The book actually contains only stories from the first two books in the series: The Innocence of Father Brown, and The Wisdom of Father Brown. Stories from all four Father Brown... |

| 6. |  | The Man Who Was Thursday from Cosimo Classics Price: $5.95 Customer Review: For a book that's as short as this one is, "The Man Who Was Thursday" is pretty packed. G.K. Chesterton's classic novella tackles anarchy, social order, God, peace, war, religion, human nature, and a few dozen other weight concepts. And somehow he manages to mash it all together into a... |

| 7. |  | The Man Who Was Thursday from Echo Library Price: $6.90 Customer Review:  As a first time Chesterton reader I knew only that Chesteron was a Catholic appologist, but I expected something similar to C. S. Lewis. Big mistake; the story plays out like a farce, until the big suprise ending. Entertaining and thought provoking. |

| 8. | [no image] | Manalive (G. K. Chesterton reprint series) from D. Finlayson Customer Review: Sometimes we need a little madness just to know we're alive. That's the basic message of "Manalive," a delightfully strange mystery (of sorts), in which G.K. Chesterton demonstrates just why life is worth living -- and that a bit of craziness can be extremely beneficial. A wind blows a new... |

| 9. |  | Saint Thomas Aquinas: The Dumb Ox from Image Price: $10.36 Customer Review: As something of an "arm-chair" theologian, I've read many of the great Protestant thinkers so this slim volume was a first. My best friend gave this as a Christmas gift last year---I believe with some reservation (he's Catholic, and I'm not), but told me I'd enjoy and he was right! Many here have... |

| 10. |  | What's Wrong With The World (Dodo Press) from Dodo Press Price: $14.39 Customer Review: This is one of my favorite books by Chesterton. He relates the dangers of Big Business and Big Government. The amazing thing is the way the Big Business argument has withstood the test of time. Most importantly it is Chesterton, get it, enjoy it, love it. |

| 11. |  | St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Francis of Assisi: With Introductions by Ralph McInerny and Joseph Pearce from Ignatius Press Price: $11.53 Customer Review: Legendary Christian philosopher GK Chesterton wrote concise semi-biographies of St. Francis and St. Thomas Aquinas in 1923 and 1936 (the year of his death), respectively. Those years saw him convert to Catholicism, crystallizing a journey taking him from early appreciation of St. Francis in poetry... |

| 12. |  | Heretics from Evergreen Review, Inc. Price: $3.96 Customer Review: As he himself affirmed, Chesterton was criticized on numerous occasions for maintaining a seemingly irreverent or flippant tone and attitude while writing about subjects that inherently demand the utmost sincerity. To superficially read Heretics might be to understand the apparent validity of such... |

| 14. |  | Collected Works of G. K. Chesterton: Collected Poetry : Part 1 (Collected Works of Gk Chesterton) from Ignatius Press Price: $22.45 Customer Review: A hundred years ago in England, religion was under attack for being an obsolescence, an obstruction to the realization of human potential, the province of the unenlightened. Along came Chesterton, irrepressible optimist and genial adversary (foes GB Shaw and HG Wells were counted among his many... |

| 16. |  | St. Francis of Assisi (Dover Philosophical Classics) from Dover Publications Price: $7.95 Customer Review: A friend of mine who is a devotee of Chesterton suggested reading this biography of St. Francis as a good way to acquaint myself with his writings. She is correct. This small book is packed full of interesting thoughts about the times and circumstances in which St. Francis lived and how he helped... |

| 17. |  | The Collected Works of G.K. Chesterton, Vol. 2: St. Francis of Assisi, the Everlasting Man, St. Thomas Aquinas (Collected Works of Gk Chesterton) from Ignatius Press Price: $26.37 Customer Review: Chesterton is one of those rare intellects who says things which actually change your perception of the world and alters the way you think. The Everlasting Man is a great book in so many ways. First, as in all books in this volume, TEM is great apologetics. Chesterton challenges arguments in favor... |

Dutton Customer Review: Having left Dickens until later in life, I just completed Barnaby Rudge as part of my attempt to go through his novels in chronological order, starting with Pickwick. Barnaby Rudge is a very different animal from the 4 prior novels, patterned after it was on the swashbuckling historical style of... |

| 19. |  | The Man Who Was Thursday from Digireads.com Price: $5.99 Customer Review:  G K Chesterton was a man of many parts. Until now I mainly knew him as a champion of Christendom, an arch-foe of eugenics and an advocate for 'distributism', his "small is beautiful" economic alternative to Big Capitalism and Big Socialism. Chesterton's "The Man Who Was Thursday" was my first... |

I cannot enhance Creighton's comments in this review, but can state that G. K. Chesterton, a man with a remarkable gift of memory and humor and insight and wisdom, did us... |

| 23. |  | Orthodoxy: The Annotated Edition from Reformation Press Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Orthodoxy is probably Chesterton's best work and a deep read. His attempts at giving modern humanism a proper burial are well thought out, although it is worthwhile for the reader to get some historical background to the debate that Chesterton was having with McNabe. Chesterton's both/and... |

| 25. |  | The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare from Filiquarian Price: $6.99 Customer Review: This is a pleasant escapade from GK Chesterton. Anarchists and detectives romp around England and France but in the end it's all very allegorical and metaphysical. Lots of religious imagery and aphorisms. Only for fans of Chesterton who want something deeper than the Father Brown stories. Also, this... |

| 28. | [no image] | Napoleon of Notting Hill from The Bodley Head Ltd Customer Review: "The Napoleon of Notting Hill" is probably the most absurd novel I've ever read. The author, G K Chesterton, was a colorful, verbose and highly eclectic British intellectual. He supported the Boer and the Irish, opposed the suffragettes, and collaborated with Guild Socialists, only to become... |

| 30. |  | Collected Works of G. K. Chesterton: The Club of Queer Trades : The Man Who Was Thursday : The Ball and the Cross : The Napoleon of Notting Hill from Ignatius Press Price: $19.46 Customer Review: The Man Who Was Thursday is one of the coolest titles I've ever heard and I liked the story, but it also let me down. It does not live up to the title, and yet, I remember it pretty vividly. The thing about Chesterton is that he may not have ever had a meaning. I think he wrote things to be bizarre... |
