Ker's Chesterton Biography

Taking a break from Aeneid prep to read Ian Ker, G.K. Chesterton: A Biography (Oxford, 2011), for a review due later in the summer. So far, I like it: other reviewers have accused Ker of including too much, and thus delivering a torpid, overstuffed biography no one will read. But Chesterton was great--he contained multitudes--and I can imagine Chestertonians passing through this large book quickly and with great enjoyment. We'll see whether I still feel the same in a few more days, though...
