Found the link for Gilbert! :) You know I've heard a lot about Chesterton from friends who like him but haven't really read him. What's a good thing by him to read?

I actually haven't read all THAT much Chesterton. My Dad and my brother are the big fans in the family. I enjoyed his Father Brown mysteries and I've read some of his essays (usually ones Dad gave me in photocopy format...), but a lot of his books are a bit more intellectual than I'd usually bother with. One of these days I'll finish Manalive, and I want to read Orthodoxy...but I'm not really an expert.
