100 Green Books for St. Patrick's Day
In the Name of Holiday Excess, A Binge-Worthy List
This Saturday is St. Patrick’s Day. That means you are likely to see, if you venture outside your home in a city of any size tomorrow, a large number of people wandering around wearing green. Many of them are likely to be drunk. You may also be exposed to green beer, green milk, green dogs, and even (particularly in New York) the occasional black and green cookie. Whatever your feelings about this, I know some very good things that come in green year round: books. And yes, they come in every shade (which I have helpfully identified below using a variety of online sources). After all, kids, books are much safer than binge-drinking—as well as being a fun and practical accessory to take along to the parade. Thus, below please find 100 green books to enjoy on your St. Patrick’s day. (Yes, this is ridiculous. But, much like St. Patrick’s Day, it is also fun.)
