This Viral Twitter Hashtag Is Putting The Craic Back Into Irish Literature

Book lovers will really enjoy this one.

A hilarious hashtag swept over Twitter this morning and saw Irish people using their full creative faculties to desecrate centuries of top-notch Irish writing. 

Using the hashtag #RuinAnIrishBookInOneLetter, twitter users attempted to alter famous literary titles with just a single character change. 

And it yielded brilliant results.

Coronation Street fans will like this one. John Banville’s The Book of Evidence was given a TV twist with the addition of Dev Alahan, one of Corrie’s most long-standing characters.
