Chesterton 101

The American Chesterton Society has an online lecture series. Definitely worth a look. An excerpt from the one on Charles Dickens:

Chesterton was once asked the typical question, “What book would you want to have with you if you were stranded on a desert island?” As many people know, his quick answer was, “Thomas’ Guide to Practical Shipbuilding.” But what many people don’t know is that he went on to name the book he really would settle for if he were stuck on an island. It was Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens.
