May's Challenge

Irish & Scottish Fiction!!!  Hey, I may not be Irish nor Scottish, but I sure do enjoy seeing a man who is not afraid to wear a skirt once in awhile. So here is to the Men and Lassies in plaid.  For this reading challenge I will award "2" points for any book that is set in Ireland or Scotland, has a main character that is Irish or Scottish, or anything else you can come up with that somehow relates to Ireland or Scotland (maybe the main character has a dog that is an Irish Setter? - okay, perhaps that is too vague of a connection).  Still, your choices are endless...


You can read a nice historical, literary novel like James Joyce's Dubliners - A collection of 15 short stories, published in 1914; which depict life of the Irish middle class in and around Dublin.

OR

Try The Seduction of Elliot McBride, by Jennifer Ashley.  With a name like "McBride" and the fact that he is wearing a plaid kilt on the front cover; you just KNOW this book is going to be a work of historical accuracy and literary genius!


Hmmmmmm.....Choices, choices..... and "May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, may good luck pursue you each morning and night."
