To obtain Chesterton's books, I mainly rely on the local University Library. Today, I went to that small shelf, between shelves about various other persons, and found a few new books: 'The ballad of the white horse', 'The crimes of England' and 'Collected works VII', containing both 'Manalive' and 'The flying inn'. I look forward to reading something else then the 'Tremendous trifles' which have occupied me for too long. Especially since watching the first seven installments of the series about this 'apostle of common sense', I realize it might be time to read more of a variety of Chesterton's works. Moreover, at the pace I have at the moment, I will not arrive at 'The everlasting man' before the year is over. So (almost) goodbye to the trifles and even to Father Brown; I will try to make some headway in this chronological reading, even if I need to skip some books.
'Orthodoxy' cannot, of course, be skipped; I plan to read it within the next few weeks. And it may then be time for 'What is wrong with the world'.
