Essays are perfect for our generation’s short attention span. And the wonderful website, Quotidiana, is the perfect website for essays. They have some of my favorites on their website and plenty that I don’t know so that I can explore. All of the essays are in the public-domain, so they can be printed and distributed without any government employee kicking in your door. You can also get most of these essays from Project Gutenberg, but the user interface on the Quotidiana website is much more friendly and beautiful (nice typography). On their “Most Popular” essays sidebar, they have two from one of my favorites, G. K. Chesterton. I especially love his On Lying in Bed essay. Give it a try and I would imagine you will be happy you did.

Amen.
Lying in Bed is perhaps one of the best essays ever written.
