You can either set a text and expect people won't read it, or not set a text and not have anything particular to talk about.<br /><br />I'm in a horror club which is very successful (twentieth anniversary in January). But that's pretty much invitation only and the guy who runs it is good at inviting only people who will take it seriously.Maolsheachlannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406722311993627528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-39000707773473904592018-12-20T18:17:18.357-08:002018-12-20T18:17:18.357-08:00I once tried to start a men’s book club at the Lat...I once tried to start a men’s book club at the Latin Mass I attend. The problems were a. No one read the books, and they expected me to summarize, b. They were often scandalized by any literature that wasn’t hagiography, and c. It would mostly be different people each time, since various commitments would always come up.Optatus Clearynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-43813068891595070132018-12-12T21:41:45.445-08:002018-12-12T21:41:45.445-08:00You know him better than me and I think he probabl...You know him better than me and I think he probably never put it exactly like that either. Same goes for several of our best apologetic writers.

Not only can I not find it attributed to any actual text, but somehow I get the impression that Chesterton would never refer to a pint of beer as a "pint". Nevertheless I agree with the spirit of the blog post.Maolsheachlannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406722311993627528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-55702337126238099292018-12-12T13:00:07.400-08:002018-12-12T13:00:07.400-08:00Found some similar wishes on the web after having ...Found some similar wishes on the web after having liked your post with a heart smiling: https://pintpipeandcrossclub.wordpress.com/tag/gk-chesterton/THOMAEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03710377440062400575noreply@blogger.com
