Trainspotting, is one of the best books I have ever read, next to the hobbit and some warcraft books. Read the book then watch the movie, it is really great.
Reading the Scottish Accent, reading the thought of a junkie and the change in relationships due to his addiction problem.
Im also writing a personal study essay on it, but definetly a book to read.
Im just about the start the next book continueing on the story called "Porno"
