    Wink Newbie, Irish literature reader

    Hi, Abbie here, in Ireland. Just found this great site. I'm a reader, but realise recently that the whole field of Irish literature is one I haven't explored enough at all.
    I've got "The Penguin Book of Irish Fiction" ordered from my library, but if anyone knows of any Irish literature reading group (online) I could join, please let me know.
    Thanks and cheers!

    I've got The Penguin Book of Irish Fiction (Colm Toibin) on order from my library. I was thinking of using it as a starting point for reading some of the greats of Irish literature.
    I'll post back here - or in another forum? - when I've got it?

    When ideas fail, words come in very handy.
