The Flying Inn


One of my reading goals this year was to read a novel by G. K. Chesterton that I had not yet read. I just finished The Flying Inn.

It as typical Chesterton, flights of fancy and fantasy, couple with satirical points - in this case government control and hypocrisy. 

I've now read four of his six novels - The Flying Inn, The Napoleon of Notting Hill,and The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare, and Manalive. With the Chesterton reading group I'll begin reading The Ball and the Cross this September. That will just leave The Return of Don Quixote - perhaps a goal for next years?. 

I've also read all of the Father Brown mysteries. There are some short story collections I'll read at some time as well.

Good reading ahead!

Pax et bonum
