I've been wanting to read a contemporary Irish novel, and I've heard good things about Tóibín, although I have to admit I've never read anything by him before.
On February 1st.Quote:

Some information on the books:
1. The Jewel of Seven Stars by Bram Stoker*
2. The Dead School by Patrick McCabe
3. Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde*
4. Dubliners by James Joyce*
5. Watt by Samuel Beckett
6. The Master by Colm Tóibín
7. Father’s Music by Dermot Bolger
8. The Tain as translated by Cairan Carson
9. The Story of Lucy Gault by William Trevor
10. The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressell
The poll will be closed on March 1st.
So which one is good?
Most of them are good. :) but if you want to see where our legends come from, vote for the Tain. Like I said before, this story is Irelands Epic, and if you like legends and myths or stories like Beowolf, The Iliad and Arturian Legends, this is a must.
I voted for The Jewel of Seven Stars by Bram Stoker (my nomination). I had to break the 6-way tie. ;)
I abandoned my nomination (Dermot Bolger) and voted for Dubliners by James Joyce instead. :)
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any one book among them which I think I might find over here except for 'the Dubliners' which I am reading currently anyway. So I'll just wait and see. Or give someone a vote if they really want it, lol ;)
Why where abouts are you hira?
Pakistan, can ask my uncle to parcel it though
You can join in the discussion when ever you recieve what ever book is chosen. You have to join in the in march technically, especially if you cant get your hands on the book imidiately. :)
Vote for The Jewel of Seven Stars by Bram Stoker! :DQuote:
