<u>The Man Who Was Thursday</u> by G.K. Chesterton.
While listening to BBC7, I heard the beginning of this intriguing book when turn of the century anarchists collide with an undercover cop. It sounds more a bad James Bond film than a book that is entertaining with humour, adventure and the typical G.K. Chesterton penchant for interlacing though provoking questions that play into the story, yet, you sense, it applies to the here and now.
That applicability to today, despite having been written nearly 100 years ago, put it next on the list. I didn't get to hear how the story ends. I know it will be good.
