Books!
I have read a few good GAA books but the most recent one that I read is featured on the page here - The Dubs by Seán óg Ó'Ceallacháin (Dublin GAA - since the 40s).
I have to say it was awful - even worse than Misunderstood by Graham 'I never did anything wrong' Geraghty. I know Sean og is getting on but it is rambling, repetitive and is almost a party political broadcast more than a sports book. It strikes me that no-one edited it and that the title (which bears little or no relevance to the actual text) was given to the book to sucker Dublin GAA fans into buying it. The 70s are dealt with in a few pages for example! Avoid it or alternatively buy it for someone you don't like - but it taught me a lesson - never judge a book by what it says on the cover!!

I was in the library the other day and someone said that to me, what a co-incidence?
