For the month of November, the Society will read Chesterton's account of his 1921 trip to America's shores (including his passing through Philadelphia!), What I Saw in America.

​This is a unique book by Chesterton and should make for good reading around the very American Thanksgiving holiday, and for a great discussion when we meet just after that celebration (on November 27th). 

You can purchase this book in Volume 21 of the collected works, read it online, or else search for it on... ya know... that website.

Join the Philadelphia Chesterton Society on Sunday, October 23rd as we revisit one of Chesterton's most celebrated works, The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare. This is an easy-to-find work in various formats, though we recommend the Ignatius Press edition available from the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton online store.

​This is a re-reading for the Society, though the last time was way back in October 2014. This is a story that bears revisiting, as it is commonly thought to be one of Chesterton's most cryptic works of fiction. It's also a great read for this time of year, as light and darkness seem to begin battling for ascendency, since this is really, as Dale Ahlquist calls it, Chesterton's "cosmic" detective story.  This would be a perfect meeting for newcomers to Chesterton — so do try and come, if you've never joined us before, or bring a friend along with you if you're an old hand!

Join the Society on the Ides of March (March 15, 2020) to discuss the concluding chapters of Chesterton's Orthodoxy. Whether you were able to join us for the first part of our discussion in January or not, please come and take part in this great discussion, where we will discuss the whole thesis of Orthodoxy, but particularly focus on these chapters:
