I've never read any Chesterton.<br /><br />My interest was piqued a few years back, when this book <br /><br />http://joelswagman.blogspot.com/2009/02/revolutions-of-1848-by-priscilla.html<br /><br />told me that The man Called Thursday was based on the real historical Blanqui's secret organization, in which the group was organized according to months, weeks and years. I've been meaning to get around to the Man Who Was Thursday ever since, but haven't gotten around to it yet.Joel Swagmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948746083822200906noreply@blogger.com
