I sure did. I read " A Monk Swimming". It was not even close to being as good as Frank's writing, and his "brogue" is really hard to follow, but it is a decent book. He was obviously the wild one in the family. It basically told of all his adventures throughout young adulthood.
I definitely prefer "Angela's Ashes" too. I also read Frank's new book " Teacher Man". It was good, and he followed the same style of writing as in all his other books, but it was really short. I think I read it in a day.
