Two Pints por Roddy Doyle

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.
