IT PAINS ME TO POST THIS GIVEN THE FACT THAT NOTRE DAME DEFEATED MY BELOVED MICHIGAN ON SATURDAY: Author Frank Delaney picks his Top 10 Irish Novels for the Guardian.

And in other book news, the fall's second-most eagerly awaited novel has to be Philip Roth's The Plot Against America, a literary "what if" in which Charles Lindbergh defeats FDR in 1940, cozies up to Hitler, and starts relocating America's Jews. The Guardian (again) has an excellent profile of the author.
