Book recommendation
I recommend Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss. I ordered it from Easons in Ireland before it was published in the States. I suggest everyone order from there. They even have the Clinton book, although I am not rushing out to get it. If you can't order from Easons then go to a local independent bookstore. Barnes & Ignoble does not need your money and the locals do.
Remember if you do order from Ireland the Data Protection Act is quite strict. You will not be spammed nor have your information sold off. The penalty in Ireland for misuse of personal data is quite severe.

Hello Matthew! This is your fellow LISNewszter ChuckB. I intend to add your blog to my Bloglines stable as soon as I get a chance to log in to it again.
I read about this book at Eamonn Fitzgerald's Rainy Day blog. He cites New Yorker review that is less than favorable.
I suspect you would like Eamonn's blog--he's an Irishman now living and working in Munich. If I read only one blog posting in a day, chances are excellent it will be his daily jotting.
Have fun at the ALA!

Thanks Chuck!
Irishman living in Munich. Hmmm... I should explore that option. I'd probably spend too much time in the biergartens.

I'm sure I would as well. And I still want to know: Powers, Bushmills, or Jamesons? Or something else?
