Not another Dubliners vote. I'd been kind of hoping people would steer from the safe and go for the new when it came to Ireland. we have so much more to offer than Joyce and Wilde.... Okay rant over...

That is why I suggested William Trevor.

I think I will read more than just the winner for Ireland.
But I haven't read anything by Joyce, so that's why I wouldn't mind to read The Dubliners.
Get all your buddies together and make them Vote The Tain!...I mean...Trouser.....

I think we should read Joyce. I've been wanting to for awhile now and I'll be glad to have the excuse to take a break from class reading to do it.
looks like i'm going to have to find my copy then... although i think i gave it to a charity shop....
