Readings on Ireland.

These two books were purchased at a bookshop in Dublin. Books are quite cheap in Dublin. Each of these books cost just 4.99 Euros ( RM 22).
1916: The Easter Rising is an account of the Irish Revolution against the British. Pakdokter should have got hold of and read this book before the trip as it would have made many of the places pakdokter visited more meaningful. It would also have helped pakdokter look for things and places of historical significance as pakdokter toured the country.

Tom Colbin's 'Bad Blood' is a description of the places and people he met while walking the border of the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland.
