Thanks for the Chesterton link. He seems to have been totally forgotten (when compared to Lewis and Tolkien).

For those new to Chesterton I would recommend pretty much everything, but to be more specific I would start with "the man who was Thursday" and/or "flying inn"

With all due respect---

For those starting out on Chesterton, the best sequence is: Maisy Ward's Biography of him; then Heretics; then Orthodoxy; then Everlasting Man. Then anything else. After Orthodoxy (one of the great literary works of all time IMHO), my favorite is Sidelights on New London and Newer York; it is side-splittingly funny.
