Ten best books about Ireland


1. "Ulysses" by James Joyce. It's hard not to start any list of books about Ireland with James Joyce's 1922 classic detailing the passage of Leopold Bloom through Dublin on Jimmy Smith Womens Jersey June 16, 1904.


2. "The Heather Blazing" by Colm Tibn. This story of a Dublin high court judge and his family offers gorgeous, understated prose and a feel for the glories of the south Irish coast.


3. "Trinity" by Leon Uris. Through the intersecting lives of several Irish families, Uris tells the story of Ireland from the Famine of the 1840s on through the Easter Rising Terr... Suggs Kids Jersey of 1916.


4. "How the Irish Saved Civilization" by Thomas Cahill. Cahill presents Ireland as "an island of saints and scholars" who kept Western civilization www... alive during the Dark Ages.


5. "William Trevor: The Collected Stories." It's hard to pick just one title by this Irish master so perhaps [url=http://www.ravensnflofficialproshop.com/Nike-Terrell-Suggs-Jersey.html]Terr... Suggs Authentic Jersey
best to go Jimmy Smith Jersey with the omnibus.


6. "The [url=http://www.ravensnflofficialproshop.com/Nike-Torrey-Smith-Jersey.html]raven... Commitments" by Roddy Doyle. You could pick up any Roddy Doyle work and learn a good bit about life in Ireland, but this story of a group of working class Irish kids who form a band and hope to bring soul to Dublin is particularly winning.


7. "The New Oxford Book of Irish Verse" edited by Thomas Kinsella. From the pre Christian era up through Seamus Heaney, this collection celebrates the majesty of Irish verse.


8. "The Last of the Donkey Pilgrims" by Kevin O'Hara. In this charming travelogue, an Irish American Vietnam vet travels around Ireland in the company of a donkey, hoping to heal his emotional wounds.


9. "The Country Girls" by Edna O'Brien. It caused a scandal in its time, but it's still hard to overlook this 1960 classic about two Irish girls who try to escape their rural roots by moving to Dublin.


10. "The Glass Lake" by Maeve Binchy. There are those who find Binchy's books too sentimental, but it's hard not to like this coming of age tale anchored in the small Irish country town of Lough Glass.
