My three most recent books are now available online. "Ireland Feeds My Soul", "A Booklover's Last Stand" and "It's Your Day, Make it your Tao" are all available on the Big A. You can also order Tao from your local bookshop. More at www.jpmaney.com

I read somewhere and I’ll paraphrase here that Manchán Magan may prove to be the most import cultural Irish figure of the first half of the 21st century. I think that’s likely true. He’s missed by all who had the good fortune to cross paths with him

Before you go to the library, find a list of banned books. Then ask where they are so you can borrow them . . .

Thank you. I hope that you’ve enjoyed it - and that they will, as well.

Also - there's a fair amount of research showing that we retain more of what we read on paper than what we see on screens. So "you can never forget if you are reading a book" if it's on paper. Not sure if your statement can apply to eBooks.

I think it depends on the genre of the book and the age/background of the reader. While I'm an ink-on-paper dinosaur, I've sold more eBooks than paper ones, something I never expected. Also - vinyl disks are making a comeback[sound quality] & people use digital techniques to mimic film -go figure!
