These are good representatives of my favorite books. There are several more I want to put on there, but I guess if it means that much to me I could just start a new account and post different books that way.
Okay, I guess I have to decide well. this is very tough.. Hmmp
Crime and Punishment- Dostoevsky
Pride and Prejudice_ Austen
The Great Gatsby- Fitzgerald
War and Peace- Tolstoy
Anna Karenina- Tolstoy :)
:blush:I know, but excluding J.M.Synge and his plays, its Irish Poets i love the most! Yeats, Kinsella, Kavanagh, Colum, Heaney, Durkin, Clarke, Moore...Quote:

You misjudged my question. I know Thomas Kinsella, and it caught me by surprise that a fan would link him with Yeats.:blush:Quote:
