Today’s the day we’re all a little bit Irish. So before you grab your Guinness, why not check out some of the Emerald Isle’s best literary works: James Joyce’s Ulysses, or maybe Dubliners, which is a little more accessible (helpful after the first Guinness of the day). There’s also Oscar Wilde, best known for The Importance of Being Earnest and The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Jonathan Swift, whose Modest Proposal is perhaps the best-known work of satire in literature. He also wrote Gulliver’s Travels, of course, in case you want to read something that has miniature people in it in honor of Leprechauns. And an Irishman in America, F. Scott Fitzgerald, would also be a good choice (try The Beautiful and the Damned or one of his short stories from Tales from the Jazz Age).
Sláinte! (Cheers!)
