that being said, the next book should be “the innocence of father brown”

Is it to go for certain stories or what? I had a go but struggled to get into it from the start. Was a try to even get to the story part. I accept this is definitely my problem rather than anything with the text, but any help would be appreciated. the first few pages of the introduction with the mea culpas and so on can be a struggle, but after that and you get into the framing story proper it's very interesting, especially when you compare it to journal of the plague year 400ish years later and see the same sort of patterns repeat themselves (but i acknowledge that might be my specific damage). but yeah it's made up of short individual stories feel free to skip around to ones that interest you/bail on ones you aren't clicking with
