Yes, I'm fond of your language. English was first invented and spoken in Ireland, right? Please correct me if I'm wrong

Wyatt Bell
Of course. The first inhabitants of Ireland, or Airlann as it's known natively, were English speaking Ulster-Scots who were brutally oppressed by Fenian invaders.

That NY Times list is pleb af, Ulysses does belong at the top but it's 90% stuff you read in high school and writers like George Orwell shouldn't be above Conrad or Forster
