I looked at various websites and could not find that book, I live in the US could that be the problem?

I loved Angela's Ashes... so sad though, kind of living without any hope?
Right now, I'm reading Legend of a Rock Star - The Last Testament of Dee Dee Ramone. My friend has several photos published in the book.

Finshed The Skels & Teacher Man.
The Skels very dark read. Bit about a man cut in 1/2 by subway train was very graphic/real
Teacher Man was very just him prattling on about school in a very entertaining way . Not as good as A. Ahes but much better than Tis. Well worth a read.

Half way through Bez Freaky Dancing Me & The Mondays. Never a big fan of the band but just interested in his drug fuelled appoarch to life .Very honest & easy to read.

Just got Teacher Man from the library - hoping it's better than 'Tis, but knowing nothing could be better than Angela's Ashes...

just read this myself. Nicholas Allt , yes? Interesting snapshot of football in the 70's & 80's and a great example of how to have a good time & travel the world with little or no money. Shame it can't be done now.

I just finished Chuck Klosterman's Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs - some of it was good, some of it great, and most of it was at least entertaining.
