Houseboat Book Shop


Books?  On a boat?  Pretty much my two favorite things?!  Ayuh.  This houseboat book shop, called Word on the Water, meanders the island's numerous canals looking to woo landlubbers and old salt readers alike.  Sometimes you may hop on and start browsing in one village only to end up several villages downstream after getting lost in the Ancient Irish Biographies section (Andrew).  When it's chilly you just fire up the stove and cozy around it with your favorite pile of browsed books.  Ther's even poetry nights up on deck.  Man overboard?  Throw him a good book, as the sign says.
