Frank McCourt's rambling memoir about growing up a poor Catholic on the streets of Limerick won a Pulitzer Prize in 1997. I was surprised to find that the amount of humour in this book by far outweighed the amount of sorrow. I suspect that a few of the more outlandish tales in this book arise from a somewhat exaggerated sense of Irish humor, but I don't care because it makes for a hugely entertaining read even if Frank's own mother, Angela, declared that the book is a "pack of lies."
