Unfortunately I've never been able to crack open a tome of his...it seems that I never have the time. Someday... Regardless, his books will still be on the shelves (May Todd Manage Forever! May His Carts Run Without Squeaking!) after I'm gone, so I've got time.<BR/><BR/>And my Anglophilia is one of quiet sadness, as I see the English culture devolving at a freakish pace.

Chesterton, which is an amazing book and worthy of comment alone. I won't redo what's been done, if you've never heard of him and become curious you can read about him here:<BR/><BR/>www.chesterton.org<BR/><BR/>But I digress. I have recently begun reading another of his works, a collection of essays called <I>What I Saw in America</I>. The reason this would be of interest to you, a self-proclaimed Anglophile, is because Chesterton was a turn of the century Brit, most brilliant in his generation, who did a lecture tour in North America and wrote what I guess would be described as an open-minded, well traveled European comparing and contrasting his native land with ours. It is brilliant.<BR/><BR/>I happen to know that a certain Mid-Continent Public Library (may Todd's shelves extend forever, and his bookends be as the stars) has a copy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
