  1. This is an awesome event for St Patrick's day.

    Purely coincidently I suppose I have chosen well for my own reading for St. Patricks's Day. I am currently reading a couple of James Joyce's books and will likely be still reading him through St. Patricks Day.

  4. What an amazing and novel way to celebrate, I think this is a great idea that should be taken up no matter what day we may be celebrating.
