The Ball and the Cross was great. Also the Father Brown stories, and Orthodoxy

I like these birthday threads
they're warm and wholesome :)

What's your favorite essay of his, /lit/? I love "On Certain Modern Writers and the Institution of the Family."

>> No.13207023

I love that one too, along with most of the rest of Heretics. But my favourite thing I've read so far of his is chapter 2 of Orthodoxy: "The Maniac".
