Books written in slang for full immersion. Here's a list with the most obvious ones:

Last Exit to Brooklyn
Ulysses
Trainspotting
A brief history of Seven Killing
McCarthy
A clockwork orange
more...

could not get past the slang in ACO. Is it really worth reading?

Not really. You miss out on some child-sex, but that's about it.

i wonder if there are books written in pidgin "language", that must suck to read.

It's an interesting book, but I honestly like Kubrick's version significantly better. The book ends too sentimental IMO

Other than that Bible and this prayer book, all I can find are books about the language, and a handful of books where only certain characters speak pidgin, not seeing any that are fully written in pidgin.

is trainspotting worth the read?
the movie is one of my all time favorites and i recently picked up the book at a used book store figuring id like the book as well.

i ask because i have a bunch of other books i wanna read now before i go back to college because if i don't i probably wont start reading novels until next break.
