Defining Irish texts ?

       In the Irish Times Martin Doyle writes about Bryan Fanning and Tom Garvin's The Books That Define Ireland, in which the authors select: "31 definitive texts" as defining Ireland; the article, What books define Ireland for you ? lists all 31. (None are under review at the complete review; I've only read three (the ones by Swift, and two of the O'Briens -- Flann and Edna); and there are quite a few authors here I haven't even heard of.)
