My favourite is Maribou Stork Nightmares, all of his stuff is a good read though, i enjoy the slang, and just the general hillarity of his writing. anyone seen The Acid House films, The Granton Star Cause is a classic, funny as fuck. |

I am not a fan of Irvin Welsh, if you have a burning desire to read about drug culture read William Burrows, much better. |

anybody dig Hubert Selby Jr.? |

010101; Burrows as in Naked Lunch and the cut up books and that, it's too much for me. he IS the ultimate blowout junkie though! i'll give him that, Hunter S Thompson too. |

Aktium: every time i think or see the big scary fuckers i think of that book, very good read. just finishing the last few pages of On the road, also just read the Lester Bangs biography, fun read. |

maribou stork nightmares is fuckin wicked: extasy is not very good, and the trainspotting film is over-rated, cos it doesn't come close to the book. I would recomend "kitchen confidential" by anthony bourdain (i think thats right) which i read a few weeks ago, fuckin wicked, i absolutely devoured that book. jingle |

Yes I also had to read "Maribou Stork" a couple of times...That book is WAY wicked... IMO - Filth- still enstills ALL that is Welsh |

I just finished Glue and was really disappointed. Filth is excellent, as is Trainspotting. I intend to read more. I'm reading Sheepshagger by Niall Griffiths. Its set in Wales. Its a bit like ?Welsh's stuff but more literary. Its so beautifully written. I highly recommend it. His first novel is called the Grits which I intend to check out. Ian Banks has written some shit though. Complicity and the Wasp Factory are good but the other stuff I've read was boring. |

Filth is just disgusting. I like it :) |
||||||||
|
|

|

absolutely...Filth is Easily his BEST work.... So twisted.... His next work is called "Porno"...it will be a sequel to Trainspotting....Due out this summer.... |

As a scottish lad myself I can actually boast that Ive spoken to Irvine Welsh personally.... :) |
||||||||

What was he like? I think I've asked you this before but do you all say "ken"? I'm Welsh but have never spoken to Tom Jones. I have spoken to my parents though and they're Welsh. |

Was he pleasant Fernz??? HOw cool....I love his works. |

My mate told me that Welsh and some other guy have been collecting moulds of women's arseholes. |

Irvine Welsh drinks in the Hill Street Blues on the Waarmestraat in Amsterdam, he's also got a flat in the Redlight district, the Filthy bastard |

i bought glue a while back but haven't had time to read it. hubert selby jr is a wonderful writer. he's an all-around very neat man. |
||||||||

i read half of glue, i havn't touched it since june, im gonna plan on starting over. i was really disapointed. it took about 150 pages till the dude got laid. and whats with irvine welsh's obsession with mutilating dogs? |
||||||||

|
If you got o his website....I think its Irvinewelsh.net there are 2 chapters that were removed from Glue....I guess they were deemed inappropriate.... Although I dont understand how.... =) Welsh is God....=) |

He was great, yeah. Very nice guy. And true, most Scots say "ken". Except me for some reason. :) |
