I wouldn't be surprised to find mugs dedicated to all Eire writers of importance. If not, Irish whiskey will comfort me.

Normally they 'need' only 30 centimetres.<br />As for Ellman's Joyce-biography: Enjoy!<br />Im am not an enthusiastic reader of biographies, but this one is remarkable good. <br />Where could I get the reissued text of 1922?<br /><br /><b>D.E.</b>,<br />isn't the screening of newborns obligatory in Ireland? Or what is the reason that Cystic Fibrosis is widespread?<br />By the way, I felt reminded of following joke:<br />Niall meets Seamus, the latter hobbling and obviously not in his best mood.<br />- What's the matter, Seamus?<br />- What's the matter. Don't ye have eyes to see? A fucking broken leg I have, that's the matter.<br />- Ah, how lucky you are, Seamus.<br />- Lucky?<br />- Imagine, how easily you could have broken both legs ...<br /><br /><b>Claudia</b>,<br />that was great fun, indeed, although the wine unfortunately was virtual.<br />As for the mug: I have a better idea: We shall ask Stan, as the pottery where I bought it is not far from Galway - near Spiddle, if I remember correctly. Seamus Heaney, Flann O'Brien, Lady Gregory, Yeats, Joyce - they have quite a nice sortiment.<br /><br /><b>CherryPie</b>,<br />history or literature. If the latter, it would be my pleasure to commend the I have some hundred books to commend let's say 100 books for the beginning. :)Sean Jeatinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978285783271305489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-52520000352329706092009-06-17T23:17:21.263+02:002009-06-17T23:17:21.263+02:00Now only last week a friend of mine was telling me...Now only last week a friend of mine was telling me I needed to brush up on my Irish history...CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-53798360187305338462009-06-17T22:52:11.324+02:002009-06-17T22:52:11.324+02:00Do I envy your bookshelves?

Of course, we drank such good wine that evening. That's probably why we could be eloquent on this metagrobolizing subject.<br /><br />Chris' excellent essay also gave us a good push in the right direction.Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307495672130972111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-27075953388112024952009-06-17T17:20:15.948+02:002009-06-17T17:20:15.948+02:00Doubtful: I have the same Penguin edition, but aft...Doubtful: I have the same Penguin edition, but after reading <i>The Scandal of Ulysses</i> (top right on the bookshelf) I determined to acquire the text as originally published, if I came across it.
