... I know that Lewis did, quite a lot. Not sure about GKC. I'd be happy to discuss Chesterton, though I don't know that pompous is the word I'd use. (He...

Seems fine to discuss, although GKC fans (and emulators) can get rather pointy. ;-) I know that CSL read/admired/quoted GKC, although Lewis opted not to go the...
