What are some of your favorite Irish works, /lit/? Any favorites outside of Joyce? Has anyone ever studied Gaelic? Also post recommendations about your favorite book from Eire.

Ive only read Joyce and Beckett. Joyce was Portrait and Beckett was Godot.
I think I prefer Beckett but Joyce was cool.
Ill probably look more into Beckett before Joyce.

I see. I recommend Ulysses. The difficulty is a bit of a mean, but it's easy if you sparknotes it. I've never read any Beckett.
