Best recent book you've read: A Ghost In The Throat by Doireann Ní Ghríofa. I first cried 20 pages in and subsequently cried every five pages after that. It was an extraordinary experience. A gorgeous modern account of what it means to be a woman and our exclusion from history. Everyone should read it.
