Verbivore, yes, it’s great when a book grabs you. It happens so infrequently it seems.

Litlove, I hope you can read Thursday. I think you’d like it and would find some interesting things to say about it.

Dorothy, yes, keep it in mind if you are looking for something smart and fun.

Lazy Cow, Chesterton is one of those well liked and well known authors no one seems to read. But he deserves to be read for sure.

Jem, your view of what Thursday should be about is very interesting. If it helps, the subtitle of the book is “A Nightmare”

Ella, thanks! Now I just have to find a way to fit Father Brown in!

LOL Sandra, literary canary I think all book bloggers are literary canaries at one time or another.

Cip, your reading experience of the book is very interesting. I can see how you could feel like Chesterton was making fun of people. He kind of was, but the satire was so absurd I found it hilarious. If you get the chance to read it a second time, I hope you have a better time with it.
