I'm about half through A Monk Swimming by Malachy McCourt. I read his brother's two books as well, Angela's Ashes and 'Tis by Frank McCourt. Angela's Ashes is a remarkable book, an amazing story. 'Tis turns pretty whiny after a while. A Monk Swimming is ok, but it drags on. He really could have just said I'm Irish and like to drink as opposed to writing this whole book.
