What does /lit/ think of Irvine welsh?
Just finished Porno, read Trainspotting and Ecstacy a while back.

>Ah've started thinking in a Scottish accent when ah need ta think herd or be honest ta mahself aboot something

Didn't think Trainspotting was as good as Porno, maybe because Porno had a plot.

Can't tell if Welsh throws in some more disgusting or morbid moments because they mean something or that's just what he does to slap the reader around (ie. Chizzy and Spud fucking the fat skank who shat herself, Lloyd fucking The Poisonous Cunt, Rents fucking his sister-in-law at his brother's funeral
