For anyone whos read it or interested in reading it and discussing it!
I started reading it today. Only on to chapter two. It so much easier to read than the Thomas Kinsella translation.
Heres a Wiki about it for anyone curious as to what its about.

Whoo Hoo, I'll start tonight.
I will try get get a copy.
Coolaboola!
I will definitely get a copy next time I purchase books over the internet but I probably won't get it nearly soon enough for the discussion, unfortunately.
The discussion will always be here, if and when you do get the book!:) so even if its in six months, comment away!
Actually, you know what? In April I'll be going to Ireland, I can probably find it and read it there. :thumbs_up
Really? well here are a few bookshops you can check for it in!
Chapters (best bookshop ever!!!) Parnell st, Dublin 1. (go to top of o'connell st, and turn left when you get to the ambassador. just up abit on hte left across from Moore St.)
Hughes and Hughes, St Stephens Green Shopping Centre, St Stephens Green, Dublin 2
Hodges Figgis
Waterstones
both are on Dawson street, Dublin 2. Street in between Grafton Street and Kildare Street where the National History Museum is...
Its still in hard back so a bit pricey! (well over €20:sick: ) but if you try Chapters, you may find it there cheaper...great bargin shop!
Oh I would love to Niamh. But i'm just swamped with everything i got going on.
Well, I found it on Amazon. There are two translations on there. The cheaper one happens to be this one. I have to order something from there, anyway. So, I will have to get a copy of this, too.
Then again, the library has it. That would mean that I get to read it for free! :) Then I have an obligation to get it done in a certain amount of time. For some reason they have started it where a person can only renew something once. I hate the "pressure" of the library! :p
Hmmm.......
I will have to make up my mind! :D
I dont believe it! It works out as about €10 cheaper that the price of it in dublin! ANd its a Hardback too!
I started last night. It cracks me up that it starts off by a husband and wife comparing their wealth, they sound like a fun couple.
Yeah and they start bringing everything they own in to their home to have them valued to see who is wealthier. I'm just finished the chapter about Cuchullains deeds.
I'm just after the bit where the youth of ulster die trying to help Cu Chulainn. It amazes me how one man can have an intire army worried. I'm liking the easy telling of the story in this translation. Its much easier for people to understand than the Kinsella Translation.
How are you getting on Papaya?
