I recently self-published a book of GKC articles which he wrote for The Speaker, both in print form (via CreateSpace) and a Kindle version, in case anybody is interested. (Moreover, I also sent to the G.K. Chesterton's Works on the Webpage, the best place for online Chesterton texts. So now they are posted on that website as well, which I greatly appreciate)
It is the first time I have published a book, so no doubt there may be problems, but in case anyone is interested in reading more GKC, there you go.
GKC Speaks: Articles from the Speaker
And for the Kindle edition, you can use this link
Here is the description:
"It must be resolutely proclaimed that into the world of wonder there is
no gate but the low gate of humility, through the arch of which the
earth shines like elfland."
G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936), one of the most
influential and quotable authors of the twentieth century, began his
career as a book reviewer. Among his earliest pieces were those which he
contributed to the paper "The Speaker." Many of those pieces were later
collected into his book "The Defendant" (1901), but most of the others
have been out of print for over a century. This volume contains 24 of
those other reviews. While ephemeral in nature in many respects, they
nevertheless contain many valubale nuggets of Chesterton's wit and
wisdom, and will prove of great interest to devoted Chestertonians.
Quotes by and posts relating to one of the most influential authors of the 20th century, G.K. Chesterton
A blog dedicated to providing quotes by and posts relating to one of the most influential (and quotable!) authors of the twentieth century, G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936). If you do not know much about GKC, I suggest visiting the webpage of the American Chesterton Society as well as this wonderful Chesterton Facebook Page by a fellow Chestertonian
I also have created a list detailing examples of the influence of Chesterton if you are interested, that I work on from time to time.
(Moreover, for a list of short GKC quotes, I have created one here, citing the sources)
"...Stevenson had found that the secret of life lies in laughter and humility."
-Heretics (1905)
