This is one of the best books that I'm not too sure many people know about:

I was cleaning my desk this weekend and found it and started reading it again. It's about a guy's life growing up in an industrial "village" as a member of the working class in England. Kind of reminds me of Angela's Ashes, though it isn't a novel.
