This book makes me happy to be alive (even during tax season) and not buried, seeing as apparently the dead maintain the same petty grievances as they had when alive. Not exactly a page turner, but an amusing picture of rural Irish life and some of the best insults I've ever read: "You're a liar, you microphallic muppet!"

jveezer Oh God, and yer mum‘s pretty Irish...😳 7y
lalatiburona @jveezer don't worry. I won't bury you two in the same cemetery. That would be sooooo mean if the afterlife was really like that 😅🤣 7y
RachaelusGilkinius The BEST insults! Glad to know you enjoyed it! 7y

Taking a break from grading undergrad essays to drink some coffee and read a rare first: a novel translated from Irish!

lalatiburona @jveezer actually Gaelic more accurately refers to the indigenous language of Scotland and Irish is what we should call that of Ireland... According to this translator... Not trying to be a know it all. Actually, yeah I am 😉 7y

Most of this book is amusing bickering and gossip (a good one to read if you want add color to your insults!), but it also contains beautiful passages on life and death.
