At Swim two boys by Jamie O Neill

Set during the 1916 Rising this book is fantatsic. Its humour, explanations just everything about it. Ireally really liked this book. You can understand why it took the Author Jamie O Neill 10 years to write this book with the amount of research that is gone into it. Definitely worth reading.

The Blackwater Lightship by Colm Toibin

Again, a really good book worth redaing this book is about how an Irish family cope with the imminent death of their gay son from AIDS

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
Terry Pratchet

Christopher Rice son of Anne has written a few books. They're meant to be good.
