I never thought about that! I think that's a very astute observation. I'm looking at his adventures in a very different light from the vantage point of 2006 compared to the era in which the book was written and my reaction to it is obviously colored by my personal experiences in a very different timeframe and cultural climate than existed then. I'm sure you're right that more men would have read this than women in that era.

I think that may even be somewhat true today, we are reading it because of the Johnny connection. While I had heard about it and we even have a Ginger Man bar in town, I never bothered to actually read the book.

I'd never heard about it either. I'd personally like to thank JD, and 'the powers that be' for purchasing the rights, in bringing all these excellent reads to our attention. Until just recently, I hadn't picked up a decent intelligent book in years, lol! Now I've seriously got the bug!

I've always been a reader, but Johnny sure has widened my literary horizons! LOL
Oh and just so we don't confuse anyone, JD and IN don't own the rights to The Ginger Man, Mr. Donleavy retains those film rights. But to so many others we have read or discussed........yes he and/or IN own the film rights.
