Next book: The Man Who Was Thursday by G.K. Chesterton

I've said this before, but thought it merited a post of its own. Our next book will be G.K. Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday. I'll post the discussion thread for chapter one this Saturday morning. If you're new here, you'll need a Disqus account to comment.

One note to newcomers: This is this group's second book. Feel free to look back at the discussion of our first book and join in the conversation. However, if you want to comment, please be relevant to the conversation, and please actually have something to say. Anyone whose posts consist primarily of various versions of denouncing us as morally flawed will be warned, and, if they persist, banned. I am fine with disagreement, but I want an actual argument not just moral preening.

I would like this to be an open forum with free discussion, however, since this is, effectively, my house, I reserve the right to escort troublemakers out. If I find this necessary, I generally give people a warning and a second chance.

Oh, and for the sake of people who've not read the book before, please no spoilers for upcoming chapters. EDIT: I've since found that Disqus has a spoiler tag. If your comment mentions material we've not yet gotten to, just hide that portion using <spoiler> and </spoiler>.

That said, I hope you'll join us to talk about Chesterton and his book. God be with you.
