Hi Will! Thank you for your quick reply. I was just searching for a good book on the history of Ireland as I am heading there tomorrow for a two week visit. Do you know that when I googled top books by Irish authors one list showed Dracula by Bram Stoker as number 1? I had no idea Bram Stoker was Irish! Of course this led to a Wikipedia check and the info that Bram was friends with Oscar Wilde. So I am still looking!

Sorry to be so slow to answer! I remember hearing good things about HOW THE IRISH SAVED CIVILIZATION by Thomas Cahill so that might be one to try. And if you want your history in novel form, there's the wonderful IRELAND by Frank Delaney. Hope you are having/have had a marvelous trip. So many literary landmarks!

Do you have a comprehensive list of the books mentioned in The End of Your Life Book Club? I have a personal goal to read them all, if I live that long. I did notice that you started a group here on Goodreads and that the book shelf has 1 book, Crossing to Safety. I would love to get that book shelf updated and will help if you have no one else to do it. I am from Melbourne Fl - 33 miles north of Vero Beach

Hello! I am reading The End of Your Life Book Club. I am an avid reader. My beloved father passed away 14 years ago. He never complained about his health problems - reminds me of your mom. I want to explore the books you and your mom talked about that I have not read. Do you know if there is a list somewhere online?
