I'd say G.K. Chesterton but he's too skinny. Still, that's who I think it looks like.

Wow! I remember pictures of Chesterton as being a Teddy Roosevelt kinda fluffy.

Till We Have Faces is cool. I'd like to read it again, but I loaned out my copy and well, you know how that goes.
What book are you interested in? You think about it and let me know. (and let me know if there is a book you want that isn't in my eclectic list).

Have you seen the IMAX movie about it? I've seen a few movies about Endurance, but the IMAX is my favorite because it is filmed so beautifully.

From Wikepedia:
quote:
"Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (134 kg or 294 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he wasn't 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.'[6] On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw, 'To look at you, anyone would think there was a famine in England.' Shaw retorted, 'To look at you, anyone would think you caused it.'[citations needed]
He usually wore a cape and a crumpled hat, with a swordstick in hand, and had a cigar hanging out of his mouth. He would sometimes carry a knife and a loaded revolver. Chesterton often forgot where he was supposed to be going and would miss the train that was supposed to take him there. It is reported that on several occasions he sent a telegram to his wife, Frances Blogg, from some distant (and incorrect) location, writing such things as "Am at Market Harborough. Where ought I to be?" to which she would reply, "Home."[7]"
I think that I would like him.
I have heard of the Father Brown detective stories but never read any Chesterton.

C.S. Lewis quoted Chesterton a bit.

Here is a 1973 Vega. I had to look it up. Is this what you had?
I've read The Man Who Was Thursday, and a lot of his Orthodoxy. I'd like to read more of his stuff.
