A lot. Also, if you haven't read it, I would recommend CS Lewis' non-Narnia works (since most people only know those)- Out of the Silent Planet is a fantastic trilogy, and for his theological works Screwtape Letters (which I'm guessing you've read if you've read Chesterton's non-fiction), the Problem of Pain, and the Great Divorce are all great works
I love his Space Trilogy. Perelandra has one of the best scenes in any book ive ever read. I've read most of C.S. Lewis' Christian and autobiographical works. I
like them, but I really think he was too stuck in his Protestantism.
Where should I start with Chesterton's fiction?

Are Paradise Lost, Pilgrims Progress and The Fairy Queene jokes to you?
English Christianity is literally the reason why English literature even exists.
Yeah, my biases. Jesus fricking christ.
In 100 years parents will still be reading Narnia to their children. People are still reading MacDonald to their children.
Who do atheists have? Pullman? Really? The pagans don't even have Beowulf since Beowulf scholarship has basically resigned itself to abandon the search for the "trve Germanic source".
English literature IS Christian literature. You can't get around it.
Read another fricking book >Yeats >Proust >Kafka >Wittgenstein >hell, fricking Tolkien if you want English genre guys
Nope, the greatest author of the 20th century is some midwit children's writer
He's up there.
he is trite, mundane, evil. Actual garbage human being.
Read Perelandra
I'm not Catholic but I still prefer Flannery O'Connor
Christcuck delusion never ceases to amaze me
I'm sorry that your biases prevent you from recognizing quality.
Yeah, my biases. Jesus fricking christ.
The most israeli thing you can do is reject Christ
You don't believe in anything. Why does your opinion matter?
You have stupid beliefs, I have none, neither of our opinions matter, but yours are absurd
His only competition is Chesterton, who is unfortunately not as well remembered
The Flying Inn and the Napoleon of Notting Hill should be mandatory reading
Last two chapters of Napoleon of Notting Hill are pure raw kino.
I've never read Chesterton's fiction but I've read all his non-fiction. how much am I missing out on?

Not a single anglophone in history has ever understood christianity, religion, or any sort of spirituality whatsoever.
