Unfortunately, I totally sux0rz at understanding Scottish accents :P
(... and I use to work for a Scottish company!)

To be honest, I remember being frustrated with how "Trainspotting" was written. I liked the movie much better.

I love Irvine Welsh's stories - I find now that the best way to read them is to read the first two chapters and then start again from the beginning, to familiarise myself with the language. I actually find myself thinking with a scottish accent for a couple of weeks after i've read his stories. It's odd.
Have you read Marabou Stalk Nightmares? Crazy hard to understand!
Mm, I gave up after "Trainspotting"! I just didn't have the patience (read: very short attention span) :)
Haven't read Marabou Stalk Nightmares, but there was a lot of talk about Porno. I'd tell you what Irvine's fave book from his lot is, but I seriously couldn't understand what he said! *lol* His new book, "Reheated Cabbage", is a collection of short stories.
