The Man Who Was Thursday by C.K. Chesterton is a story set in the early 20th century London. It features Gabriel Syme, a poet that is secretly working for an anti-anarchist task force in Scotland Yard. The story, laden with allegory, shows Syme's pursuit of the anarchists and especially their leader, a man called Sunday.
This was an awesome audio book: short, compelling, easy to follow while you listen. The story itself is rather good as well. The finale was confusing at parts and I was searching to apply allegorical meaning to everything, which is probably not a good way to read this book. But I did think that this would be a great book for a book discussion.
