March is a month of feasting and fasting:  Mardi Gras.  Lent.  The Ides of March.  Purim.  And St Patrick’s Day.  Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, so in his honor why not read a book about Ireland or the Celts?  Or in honor of St Patrick’s day – read a book about beer!  Or maybe even watch an Irish movie or listen to some Celtic tunes.  Erin Go Braugh.
