"The happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood."

This is so sad - he was a charming and funny man, despite the often grim nature of his writing. Not to mention he gave hope to us late bloomers: he didn't start writing til he was in his mid-60's. R.I.P.

It would be even lighter if you and your big opinions shuffled off too.

The movie didn't do his book Angela's Ashes justice.

I just gave away two of his books.

Whenever I wash my towels, I think of him and his family. They only had one....rejoice in your mulitude.
