Books and Conversations.

Books and Conversations

Reading through a number of books at the moment, "The Blind Watchmaker" (Still!), Karen Armstrong's "A History of God" and Patrick Kelleher's "One Mortal Night", more on that at a later date. Karen Armstrong's book is one of those that if you haven't got it, and it may be out of print or something, try searching. I haven't finished it yet but she ends with a poem called "The Darkling Thrush" by Thomas Hardy and that's a good enough reason to go out and get a copy anyway. But, more things in heaven and earth... Apart from that I'm reading The Sunday Times or working my way through it on a Monday. The photo to the right is from google images and brings me to "Fag An Bealach"  the second part of which was on TG4 last week, and reminds me of a conversation we had at The Meath Writers' Circle a while back about the Irish at Fredricksburg and that a number of local men had been involved. But more on that later as well. There's some interesting film up on youtube for anyone that's interested.
