Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt would like to read the books by his brothers Malachy and Alphie, Angela's Ashes was tragically funny but also eye opening at times, in one house people would be using cardboard and newspaper to keep warm and not even bread to eat, whilst next door would be having a roast with all the trimmings.
