Frank McCourt, RIP

Frank McCourt, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Angela's Ashes, has died in New York.

Angela's Ashes was one of the two or three most enjoyable books I read in the past decade. I cherished it so much that I avoided the movie altogether in fear that it would somehow tarnish the story of McCourt's tragic childhood in Ireland.

A good man deserves his rest.
