I just finished re-reading Frank McCourt’s “Angela’s Ashes” and “Tis” and I just purchased the third in his Trilogy, “Teacher Man” – and I felt the need to let everyone know just how good his books are.
The memoirs of an extremely poor Irish immigrant told in three parts – The first from a child and young man’s perspective, the next two from an adult one – these books are, literally and without exaggeration, a joy to read.

Or maybe the type of stuff they SHOULD have had us reading, so that we DID understand, instead of boring text books.
