Angela's Ashes by McCourt

(finished Sept 2009)

I picked this out because I knew it was famous and McCourt just died recently.  This is the first memoir I've read and I think I'll go back to my "no memoirs" policy.  I couldn't sleep until it was finished, not because it was riveting but because I got so upset and anxious from the material.  On the other hand, I know more about Ireland and the Irish, which are subjects of great interest to me.  hrm.
