It is a pleasure to share some of my old favourite books with Irish Times readers and I am honoured and thrilled to be given the opportunity. As well as for their content, both books are also remarkable for the style in which they were written. Books on social activism and on the quest for self-knowledge and faith that often accompanies it have always attracted my attention. I hope readers will enjoy perusing the books furnishing my house. Old Favourites is a weekly column that runs every Saturday in Ticket in The Irish Times.
