A good read
Which is quite amazingly online. GK Chesterton's Orthodoxy is probably the first book I'll read after Lent is over. It's sort of a companion to Heretics, not the most diplomatically named of his books. But who needs diplomacy when you're right :-).
I wouldn't say he's the most learned of thinkers I've read, but he's the most right of thinkers I've read, which should have some value. In "The Everlasting Man", e.g., he reshaped my view of history into a much more spiritual form.
PS. I have given up buying books for Lent and it's like I gave up breathing. Nontraditional is def. the way to go for Lenten fasting.
