I second this. I started reading a lot of his works a while back. He has a very unique point of view from what I know. He was also friends with or friendly with some of the leading authors of the day whom he criticized, notably Shaw. His use of paradox is highly entertaining too and he made it into something of an art form.

The Napoleon of Notting Hill is a fun read (he is notable for supporting distributism); his essays are very enjoyable too.

Chesterton is a great call. You who are reading this, go read orthodoxy at some point when you have time.

The father Brown stories are all great too, if you like the type of short mystery stories.
