No The Miserable yet, but I was lucky enough to pick up a copy of 'How the Irish Saved Civilization' by Thomas Cahill.

I'm not quite finished yet, but strongly reccommend it. It's pretty thin and somewhat light for a history, it's nice reading, and what I like best, it has fairly clear and easy to comprehend comparisons between the ancient and modern worldview.

Plus, I'll never look at the Irish the same again. Bravo!

Pete
