What makes GKC so irresistible and unique to read is he never talks about anything without discussing the philosophical idea behind it. 5/5 stars

On my 28th essay out of the total of 67. This is a really, really good contender to my most favorite book in the world The Everlasting Man in terms of enjoyability and wide range of topics covered. With the ease of a jujitsu master, it also captured the exhilarating wit of the man.

Chesterton is much easier to understand in his essays, but just as profound. "The truth is that man’s horror of the skeleton is not horror of death at all. It is man’s eccentric glory that he has not, generally speaking, any objection to being dead, but has a very serious objection to being undignified."
