I love free stuff, who doesn’t! Imagine how excited I was to find that Digital Catholic Library is offering free ebooks of Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton! With Earth Day this past week, what better way to celebrate than with a free, paperless, Catholic book.
Expect a 600KB download. Sorry everyone across the pond and to the south, it’s only free for US and Canadian citizens.

Your post gives me an excuse to quote Chesterton!
A child kicks his legs rhythmically through excess, not absence, of life. Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, “Do it again”, and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning “Do it again” to the sun, and every evening “Do it again” to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately but has never gotten tired of making them. It may be that he has the eternal appetite of infancy. - From G.K. Chesterton’s Orthodoxy
