Mmm, Dubliners. ♥ I just finished it recently myself. His other books are really good too.

That conversation at the end was great! It reminds me of the few we've had here between my little brothers (three of them, though they are a little more understanding of how females work). I remember my sister having asked my youngest brother to get her the heating pad. He looked so scared afterwards and he pulled me aside, asking me if her having her period was going to kill her.
