In this week's New Yorker (last week's too, because of the holiday), Adam Gopnik uses the centennial of The Man who was Thursday as a starting point for aiming to give a balanced assessment of G. K. Chesterton. I think he succeeds, but I've often been in a minority on LT about Chest ...

... works in this book. I confess I like From London Far better, although I'm only 30 pages in. It reminds me a bit of The Man Who Was Thursday, by G.K. Chesterton, just a bit. Hamlet, Revenge looks great--haven't read it yet.

... Man should be read after I finish school. Clearly that's when I would need to know its lessons. I find G.K. Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday enjoyable, but quite the philosophical blockbuster. It's like an intellectual action movie. It really is. Instead of bullets most of the time the ...

Praises be, I finished A Game of Thrones! So now I'm mostly reading The Man Who was Thursday by G.K. Chesterton, who I should have read some of before, and think it's fab so far. I should also try to finish Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, which I'm enjoying but somehow poetry makes my ...

... week front, A Game of Thrones is sucking me in, as philosojerk predicted on the last thread :-) I've also just been given The Man who was Thursday to read on GRTB, which I'm really looking forward to!

LizT, you should read The Man Who Was Thursday. I read it recently, and it rocked my world. Whoever picks for me, anything is fine. This will be my very first review ever, so please be gentle.

The Man Who Was Thursday. It's not just a thriller, it's a philosophical blockbuster.

I got The Man Who Was Thursday by G.K. Chesterton and The Complete Fairy Tales by The Brothers Grimm. Now I'm a guy who's read widely, and I know they sanitized the Grimm's Fairy Tales for the Disney movies, but if I need warning that my childhood innocence is going to be shocked ...

The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton

Thanks Tim! Yes this group is insane but I would like to see the anarchy group suggested in #14 it sounds like The Man Who Was Thursday.

10. The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton. Pheww. I picked this up because a bookclub that I am in has selected the book for the month. It was hard to get into, but once into it, it raced along as the characters pursued their chases. The ending is still a mystery to me, and, ...

Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday

If this doesn't feel appropriate to the group let me know and I can move or delete it, but I'm wondering if anyone has read The Man Who Was Thursday by Chesterton? If so, can you shed any light on the ending? I'm confused......What was Chesterton trying to say?

I finished Every Book its Reader yesterday morning, read Murder On Monday in the afternoon and started The Man Who Was Thursday last night. Murder on Monday was okay but I had trouble sticking with it as it felt really slow. Thursday has been good so far and I'm looking forward to finishing ...

I don't have many signed books, but the one I have which is irreplaceable is As It Was by the cricketer Fred Trueman, who died a few months ago. He did a few signings with it in the last year of his life.
