I'm in a great dilemma between Joyce and Wilde.I really want to discuss "Dubliners" with you people,but "Lady Windermere's Fan" should be a great read.Any help on the way?

Niamh convinced me to vote for The Tain. It sounds fascinating. You can read up on it here: http://us.penguingroup.com/nf/Book/B...018680,00.html

I agree.

And it's different than the usual novel reads we have every month. Something different.

Since you cannot decide between those two, you should vote for The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressell instead!

The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists is without doubt the greatest socialist novel in the English language. It is simply but brilliantly written. I have a owned a number of copies of the years and given them all away. it is the sort of book you want other people to read.
Welcome to the Forum, Ballb!
I like the way you are thinking!
Go The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists!

It a great epic story. It is Ireland Epic infact.And yes it is definitely something different, especially seeing as it is only to be released this month in the states, and is already available on amazon.co.uk
amybe i'll do up some info in my blog about the origin of the hero of the story. He would be Irelands hurcules (without the god stuff- and well all the deeds...)

There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King
Oh, that is not funny; that is a sign! You should vote for it asap!
