Funniest book I've ever read, although it's not all laughs, it's depraved and sad at parts - but that can be expected.

Throughout reading this I'm thinking to myself, how does anyone outside of Scotland understand this slang? (it's easy for me though, being Scottish and understand every word and even know similar people, especially of the Begbie kind) 😂

Straight onto Trainspotting!

IamIamIam I actually sold Trainspotting a few months ago after trying to read it at least 10 times in the last 20-ish years! Lol... I'll watch the movie but the dialects were hard to read! 4y
TheNeverendingTBR @IamIamIam I can understand that! 😄 4y

This book might take me the entire year to read... at least I hope I can finish by then. I read two pages and my mind is so tired. It‘s exhausting... and I‘m only 32 pages in!

Well this should be fun! Next pick out of the reading jar! I‘m slightly intimidated. #currentlyreading

Not as good as Trainspotting, but still a damn-good book, and worth picking up...
