Have revisited the Fantasy series Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan after 12 years.

Fairly epic series but really enjoying and looking forward to how it all finishes up. Jordan had died before he completed the series but left notes for his wife and a novelist Brandon Sanderson to complete.

Hmmm. Let us know what you think when you're done.

Beatlebone by Kevin Barry getting good reviews. Anyone read The City of Bohan?

Big fan of Kevin Barry's work. His short stories are majestic. Would recommend Dark Lies The Island to anyone who hasn't read it.

Thought City of Bohane was vastly overrated.  I think his short stories are great .

Look forward to hearing what you think. You'll laugh, hopefully, but you'll also think WTF. Good, dark humour.

I just bought "Men and Arms - the Ulster settlers c1630" by RJ Hunter.

It is basically a list of all the planters by county and type of weapon (sword, musket, snaphance, pike or none).

For a small fee I can look up a surname for ye. The good news is that my surname is not on the list.

Any good audio books to suggest? Does a good book necessarily mean a good audio book?

And after all that; where is best place to download?

Cheers

Brilliant but I don't like fiction so my recommendations will be limited.

Nope. No Fearon. And no O'Neills.

There are about nineteen surnames starting with O' and appear unusual e.g. O Duff, O Gordon, O Kat and O Mory
