I was given 2 books from an Irish friend of mine when I was doing some deliveries across the Atlantic earlier this year. (5weeks, 3000mile) I've been living aboard for years and never heard of these. They were absolutely hilarious. Laugh out loud stuff. He is my new hero. I've actually got a bit of a man crush on him. He is a fictional character, but he's still a legend, even if he is a massive knob
"Ross O'Carroll Kelly".

Or anything written by chuck palahniuk.
He wrote fight club. His books are written in what my learned friends like to call "medias res", meaning they start at the end, with the protagonist retelling the events that led up to the point at which the book begins. His narrative is episodic, and is presented out of chronological order, but that is his style, and I like it, and it's common to most of his books. |

"Medias" is Latin for middle, not end. |
