Anybody read / heard of him?
I am a big fan of him. I enjoy reading autobiographies, and Angela's Ashes, and 'Tis are two of my favourite books.

I'ver heard of him and his books.
But haven't read them.
My mum reads Diana Gabaldon. That's apparently soppy and sad as well. You might like them.
Personally i like Bonne and Mills (i think thatz how u spell it) Theyre romance novels!

I read both Angela's Ashes and 'Tis. I found that 'Tis was a lot sadder than Angela's Ashes. I mean, at least the first book had a bit more innocent humor. I dunno, it's one of those dark humor books, but I liked them.
The movie sucked though.

I read Angela's Ashes. It was good, not wonderful... And I've just realised Frank Mc Court is hated by half of Ireland. lol

The movie adaption of Angela's Ashes is nowhere near the standard of the book, but films never are. I own it, but I always prefer to read the book.
Well, it's been almost two years since I first started this topic, and these books are still two of my favourites. I can't remember how many times I've read them. 
I guess I can understand why he's hated back in Ireland. The nation is not exactly portrayed in a great light. However, this hasn't made me think any less of the country. I want to visit Limerick, now.
Has anyone read A Monk Swimming by Malachy McCourt? I read it recently, and while it's not as good as Frank's book, it's still worth a read.

I have read Angela's Ashes and seen the film which I both liked  but I haven't read A Monk Swimming yet.
Wow, I didn't know he was in Ash Wednesday too; I haven't been able to see/buy that movie yet.

Thanks for the info, Laura. I had no idea Malachy was in Ash Wednesday. I'll have to check it out.
