Answering seprarately because I was so busy trying to find Chesterton: I'm not much of a puzzle-novel reader, though my mother is. I read Father brown for the attitudes behind it - Chesterton has fascinated me since I was a teen. he is *such* a fine writer and there are some interesting quirks of mind behind it. I read The Man Who Was Thursday this year for the first time. So I ought to put The Second Scroll on my list of will-read-one-day books but I had honestly never even thought about it till you mentioned.
