What I'm reading ...

I have started The Snapper by Roddy Doyle.

This is the second book in the Barrytown Trilogy [along with The Commitments and The Van]. I have read the other two and, for some reason, never got around to this one. I am a big fan of modern Irish writing and Doyle is a key contributor to the excellent work from that country. I had the pleasure of seeing him at the Cheltenham Literature Festival last year and that whetted my appetite for his latest work.
