I am still not certain how well known Chesterton is in this modern time. On the one hand, he is not infrequently quoted (he is of course a very 'quotable' writer). On the other hand, the local library does not have many of his books and quite some of my acquaintances never heard of him.
I have to admit that I myself barely heard of Chesterton till this fall. Then several things occurred at once (my pastor mentioning Chesterton's books, my realization of Chesterton's influence on C.S. Lewis, and the listing of 'Orthodoxy' on ccel.org's list of Christian classics), and I started reading.
