Festival favourite Ten Books You Should Read returns to glór. Liam O’Maonlaí and Rónán Hession join us for an adventurous leap into their most recommended books. Intended for readers and book clubs looking for new titles to explore, this event is a Saturday highlight of the festival. Moderated by novelist Cónal Creedon, this event is sure to be a discerning and enjoyable one. Hearing what other people love to read is an inspiration, to feel that rush of discovery and anticipation all readers know, to understand the thrill of how craft and creativity is so appreciated. Rónán Hession is the author of Leonard and Hungry Paul and Panenka. His upcoming novel Ghost Mountain will be published in May 2024. Liam O’Maonlaí has had a long and successful career spanning over 30 years, both with The Hothouse Flowers and in his solo career. His passion for music has seen success in both the rock and traditional forms. As well as being a singer and pianist, Liam also plays the tin whistle, bodhran and the harp.
