Omni Daily News

Note:  Today's Daily News is going all-Irish in honor of St. Patrick's Day.

Grisham Goes Digital: John Grisham isn't Irish, but did you know his last name is derived from a French word meaning "the green?" He also chose St. Patrick's Day Eve to announce his e-book holdout is over. That's good enough for me. Slainte, John!

Pint-Sized Fun: The Los Angeles Times sits down with author Steve Rushin to discuss his deliciously-adorned book, The Pint Man. No word if proper readers should put the book down after the first three chapters in order to let it settle.

I'm Not Sure I Agree: Now I'm a fan of James Joyce, but The Christian Science Monitor's selection of Ulysses as the #1 Irish-inspired read that's "most likely to please" shocks me.  Not discounting its literary importance or significance, but "pleasing" is not how I'd describe the 700 page epic.

For Wee Folks: Mother Nature Network has a nice group of children's books for lads and lassies.

Moving and Shaking: I see a Doyle, a Collins, and a Boyle on our Movers and Shakers list, but no Irish-themed books. What gives?
