I will often check this area of the website when I am looking for a book to read. I would now like to recommend "The Immortal Irishman". I was aware of the potato famine but never gave much thought as to why the Irish didn't grown other crops. This book explains it. It follows the life of a man who goes from Ireland to Tasmania to the United States. As I was reading it, I wondered if it was a novel - it is not. Many books I read are forgetable - this one is not.
