Madhu recommended Around Ireland with a Fridge - anyone else have an opinion of this book? Worth me spending precious Euros on while Im in Ireland? Thanks, Em
Absolutely wonderful book. The first book of his I read was "Playing the Moldovans at Tennis", which got me interested in his other books. The only other one I've seen in the stores is "Round Ireland with a Fridge"...does he have others?
I've read both books twice, which is the ultimate compliment from me.

Thanks, I just broke one of my cardinal rules of posting: don't ask questions that are easily searchable on the internet. For pennance, I bring you this random photo.

I'm reading this book right now. Right along with No Touch Monkey. Fridge is very hilarious. I often find myself laughing out loud in public. People give me curious looks, but mostly tolerate me obnoxious behavior. (Even when I'm not reading the book, they do this.) I recommend this book.

Yes, it's worth it. Yes, go buy it. Yes, yes, yes.

I boroowed this book and read it when I was in NH in Jan 04 working on a campaign. I was shring a room with a guy in these people's house and woke him several times laughing my head off. Needles to say he doesn't like the book but I love it!!
