I'd like to recommend the new Irvine Welsh novel, "Glue". It's brilliant even better than "trainspotting".

Irvine Welsh, born 1958.

I'm still looking to buy a poster with the opening monologue from the Trainspotting, Choose a Life.

I'm just finishing up "Ecstasy" by Welsh. Three novellas. Very good. Very disturbing.

Did anybody see the movie version of The Acid House? It was royally fucked up. My kinda flick!
