    I tried reading Trainspotting but couldnt read mire than a few pages because it was written in a strange language that I think is scottish

      Shit if you think that's bad, try James Kelman's A Disaffection. Entirely steam-of-consciousness demotic Glaswegian.

      Actually he'd be a tight option for book club, @marxisthayaca remind me to pitch it sometime. (edit actually I was thinking of How Late It Was, How Late)

        Yeah I read prequel and sequel too, and you kind of have to read it phonetically then simulate a person with a Leith/Edinburgh accent saying it in your head
