I have been reading though, making my way through some of the books I bought in Ireland.
- Irish Tales of Mystery and Magic: a spooky-funny book about the ancients warrior clans of Ireland, with whimsical illustrations.
- The Playboy of the Western World: a seminal play by John Synge that caused riots when it premiered in 1907 because of its comic treatment of patricide and its mention of women in their shifts (i.e. slips).
- Hellfire: a contemporary novel about the drug trade among working-class Irish, with a female narrator, gypsy fortune-tellers and maybe ghosts. I just started this one so I'm still getting oriented.

Don't give up on spoonreader. We love it!
Yes, I love to read spoonreader. At least keep some kind of blog, if you decide to focus on something besides books. I would miss your blogging if you stopped.
SOS: Save Our Spoonreader! The posts might be few and far between for now, but you'll pick up the pace again. It's a strong body of work.
