Even more crazy is the fact that Fight Club 2 is released this year by Chuck. It's a graphic novel but still, he wrote it.

I'm not 100% but I think the 3 st..."

Totally looking forward to Skagboys.

Good books that you want to read my friends! I've rated some of them in my list.

My mind has been clouded lately so it has been hard to concentrate on a good book however I am definitely going to pick up Punk Land by Carlton Mellick III and I have just started Geek Love! Yay!

I always tell people about the urine quote! I'm glad you and Steve enjoyed American Psycho, sick in the extreme yet hilarious!

I haven't read Lunar Park so I can't actually say. BTW, I think Less Than Zero/Imperial Bedrooms ends up topping American Psycho in terms of being disturbing.

Hey Redroc, yes I agree with you about the fashion haha.

Excellent, tell me what you think of Welsh when you are ready.

Yeah mate, I love Begbie myself! I remember in Porno I think it was, he got upset and started a fight over Rod Stewart. I found that really hilarious!

@Steve, wowsers I didn't realise one of the characters in Glue was in Porno. I read them so far apart in my life. I'm not too certain that "Christmas with the Begbies" is a part of Reheated Cabbage.

There is a short story about a family christmas dinner that is so Begbie esque however. Franco was not in the story so I'm going to say that it wasn't about the Begbies. You'll love it none the less.

I MUST READ MARABOU STORK NIGHTMARES! I must of picked up 6 novels at the store I frequent today but I totally forget to grab a copy of that book.

Redroc, I would say yes to both. Funny because I'm actually in the stages of finishing "Reheated Cabbage" by Irvine Welsh right now.

Irvine Welsh is terrific!

Geek Love was excellent, it meandered in the middle and I wasn't completely happy with the end of Oly's recoll..."

Ha, I can always relate that good film to Gaspar Noe's "Irreversible". Thanks for putting up your reception of "Geek Love" and I hope you enjoy the books by B.E.E.

I have Geek Love ordered at my book store actually. Can't wait.

Have to agree with Redroc, Buster is a great anti-hero! As for American Psycho, it is terrifically warped. Everyone should enjoy!

For me the most outrageous transgressive book would be shared by Less Than Zero and Imperial Bedrooms by Bret Easton Ellis. WOW. Seriously, look no further.

By the end of Imperial Bedrooms you will be amazed at what the main character Clay has truly molded to become after Less Than Zero. Here I was, thinking he was relatable.

No sir.
