Just got done rereading The Man Who Was Thursday.

Now mind you the only stuff I've read from this author is this and some of the Father Brown stories, but more often than not I'm impressed. The writing itself tends to be put together with beauty and charm, and I tend to find the subject matter amusing and engaging. Doesn't hurt that I feel it's usually head and shoulders over what I find to be the general tripe in fiction that tackles Christian themes.

On a side note it strikes me that, reading makes me think of David Wong's This Book Is Full Of Spiders, for a few different reasons.

de_la_Nae:
I actually meant to put this question in: anyone here have anything by him that they'd recommend?

rschill:
Isn't he the guy that co-wrote that Iron Maiden song? 

de_la_Nae:
oh shit someone replied.

But...what?

pwhodges:
Anyway, his other major fiction is the Father Brown short stories - not bad, but I don't get very excited over them.
