Quote.
I'm rereading At Swim, and every day I am tempted to quote the entire book, just read it out loud, from the highest mountain top I can find, to anyone who will listen, for years and years and years. Instead, I'll settle for quoting little bits, because if ever I was committed to anything, it is to spreading the love. And I get to use this icon almost entirely in context.

"She made a difference to me, your mother did. I came across her one time and I heard her singing."
"She does always be singing, all right."
"I felt I might belong. I might, God help me, be" --irrational, irrepresible, irresponsible, iron-brained, irascible, irksome, entirely irresistible-- "might be Irish," he said.

1) Holy shit, yo, that's a while back. *g* Awesome. :D
2) I'd say, give it another go, definitely. The dialect will get easier after a while, and it'll lull you into it, I think. I hope. It's just so gorgeous. If I do get that PhD and end a comp lit professor? I am so totally teaching this book in class. \o/
(And then there's MacMurrough, who will forever be the love of my life. It doesn't get much sadder than pining for a fictional, now-totally-dead-anyway gay man.)
