Finished Reading “Heretics”

  "G. K. Chesterton, the "Prince of Paradox," is at his witty best in this collection of twenty essays and articles from the turn of the twentieth century. Focusing on  "heretics" - those who pride themselves on their superiority to Christian views - Chesterton appraises prominent figures who fall into that category from the literary and art worlds... those who hold incomplete and inadequate views about "life, the universe, and everything." He is, in short, criticizing all that host of non-Christian views of reality, as he demonstrated in his follow-up book Orthodoxy. The book is both an easy read and a difficult read. But he manages to demonstrate, among other things, that our new 21st century heresies are really not new because he himself deals with most of them." (Goodreads)

Currently Reading

Eight months ago I ditched my "to read" list and have focused exclusively on four books. That was a good decision. My intention is to continue reading these four books until always, but I'm in need of a small diversion.

Since my favorite band of all time ever is "Rush" (intelligent rock and real music), I am enjoying another book by the greatest drummer and lyricist of all time: the quiet comedian and arm-chair philosopher, Neil Peart.

"Far And Away: A Prize Every Time" (2011)
