The Teenage Dirtbag Years

mayordenis

currently reading it,
part of a 4 part series,
im only 20 mins of reading into it but i am very impressed anyone else read any of the series?
anyone even heard of Paul Howard before?
seems like a fantastic author to me.

oh the Ross O'Carol Kelly Book, i wouldn't exactly call them Literature.. they are alright, when ur back in the young days, or looking back on the days... but i dont really like them, to typical. i mean, what he wrote isnt exactly genius. It's just light comedy i suppose, good for light reading, that some ppl can relate to.

mayordenis

i think some of it is fantastic but sure whatever your obviously above that yourself . .

Shrimp

I'm obviously above that book. Jeez Have you not read the infamous Abercrombie thread? ha..

Paul Howard is a failed cyclist and one of the chief sports writers for the Sunday Tribune, the Ross O'Carroll Kelly column is on the back page of the main paper every week.

shuushh

how has he managed to get 4 books and a weekly column out of that character ah well fairplay to him

Some great lines in them:

(on Ross's lack of commitment to the UCD Rugby Team) "they're calling you Tampax Ross, one week in, three weeks out"

did the book hit a little too close to home, shrimp?

thing is those great lines a littered throughout the book,
though that one is particularily good.

I read 3 of the series (at the quiet times while working in a book shop). I did think they were funny but for me it was just a bit of light humour to pass a quiet afternoon in work. Not really my style of literature.
