Part One-What If I Just Don't Get Chesterton? What does it say about me if I don't get Chesterton? Everyone seems to love him, but I just can't get into reading him. His stuff is too dense, too wordy, too lengthy, too unwieldy. I *want* to like Chesterton, but I just don't get him. If any of this rings a bell, this and the next episode of Uncommon Sense are for you.
