re: #150 Stanley Sea
My favorite reads (still) were McCourt. I listened to Teacher Man and laughed and laughed and laughed.
I read _Angela’s Ashes_, knew it was biography, and was reading it and hoping his parents would die due to how badly they were screwing up their own and their children’s lives. Horribly effective writing since I despised myself for wishing harm upon people like that. (Knowing that they were already deceased, but had existed none the same.)
