Removed Stub.

Some red links still to be done and a proofreading of the main article and the novels in separate articles. Anyone? --Pold 01:06, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

I don't think these three books should have an entry on their own. I remove links. The Kilfenora Teaboy (1997); The Penguin Book of Irish Fiction (1999); and The Modern Library: The 200 Best Novels in English since 1950

[edit] Bibliography

It'll be easier if someone made a bibliography of all this. Skinnyweed 20:34, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
