His personal notes and work books reside at the National Library of Ireland. Doyle's first three novels, The Commitments (1987), The Snapper (1990) and The Van (1991) comprise The Barrytown Trilogy, a trilogy centred around the Rabbitte family. All three novels were made into successful films. In 1993, Doyle published Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, winner of the 1993 Man Booker Prize. Doyle is the author of ten novels for adults, seven books for children, seven plays and screenplays, and dozens of short stories.

Ridiculously funny, especially if you hear it in your head as being read by various characters from The Commitments. Oh, and for those offended by foul language, you may want to take a pass on this one. ;)

I do feel guilty having this count towards my books for this year though as it is such a wee book. I'll make sure I read a fat book to balance it out.
