Not sure that my reading tastes are much like anyone elses. I often go to library and just pick up 2 or 3 books I've never heard of and go over and read a few pages of them and if I like them, take them home. Read a bunch of books like that I really liked by Irish authors. One entitled Ireland and another entitled Galway Bay. Both really good and lots of Irish history in them.
My oldest is a fan of all things tolkien. I would encourage you to try out bernard cornwell. Fantastic writer, with books set during the hundred years war, englad before the normans, and his version of the arthurian legends. Also has a huge series based on all the wars involving the duke of wellington, with the action centered on a rifleman.
Ceinwyn is named for a character in his arthur trilogy. My son has her brother, derfel, from the same book.
