Did Ye Hear Mammy Died? By Seamus O Reily and other books like it

[IJustHadToLookHavingReadTheBook]

Just read this and genuinely laughed out loud more times than I can count. I loved it, first book to genuinely make me laugh out loud in years (woke my husband up several times when I was reading it after he had already gone to sleep).

Can anyone recommend either anything similar or which has made them LOL like that?

Thanks in advance.

I recommend the same book ALL the time because it’s the only book I’ve ever read that has made me belly laugh out loud.

The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared

I mean, it was hilarious but equally deeply heartrendingly sad. The funniest parts (eg the trip abroad in the camper van & subsequent altar singing) were also utterly painful. That's what makes it so amazing.

I similarly loved Patrick Freyne's OK, let's do your stupid idea which had a lot of moving moments and is brilliantly written.

It's the funny thing about reading isn't it. I hated this book! Instead of finding it funny, I found the violence really upsetting.

I loved the book too. If you follow him on Twitter he links to his columns in the Graun and an Irish paper... he's always a good read.
