Have you read Porno by Irvine Welsh yet? It's the follow up to Trainspotting and is very good. Also Welsh's short stories Acid House, and Maribou Stork Nightmares with a painful ending for a guy.

Read Iain Banks - not his science fiction - but his other novels. He is another Scottish writer - and you get a feel of that in his writing - and he covers some very bizarre situations. I love 'The Wasp Factory' - which is about a very strange and dysfunctional Scottish family. 'Complicity' is also very good. If you like dark/black humour, which I assume you do if you enjoy Irvine Welsh, then you should enjoy Banks. Happy reading.

Mkay. =] The Mortal gadgets via Cassandra Clare. i admire them because of the fact they're style of diverse. and since the story line and plot and each thing is purely great. =] Dragon Boy, The action picture star Trilogy via Donald Samson is sweet. it rather is have been given somewhat some action and that's certainly an action e book. this is predicated back whilst there have been dragons and knights. The night worldwide sequence via L.J. Smith, is a good sequence. It has Vampires and witches and werewolves. they're all somewhat good. each and all the books in the sequence come at the same time and its purely somewhat good. The Wolves of Mercy Falls is a good sequence. i've got in basic terms examine the 1st 2, thats because of the fact the others havnt pop out yet. yet yeah =] they're via Maggie Stiefvater check out any books via Simon Pulse. Thats a writer. Simon and Shuster or something. wish this helps =] i like to envision those style of books to, so... those are in basic terms some. =]

You should try 'Last Exit to Brooklyn' by Hubert Selby, Jnr. Irvine Welsh tried to copy some of his stylistic tics but Selby is a far better writer.

Try something by Ben Elton. His books are funnier than his stand up. Or if you like Scots authors, read The Wasp Factory by Ian Banks!

I greatly enjoyed THE LOVELY BONES by Alice Sebold.
It is a somewhat grim subject, but so beautifully written and so sincere that one has to keep reading.

chuck phalinuk reminds me of stephen king in certain ways.
"guts" has to be the grossest thing in the whole dang world. i think that you should try out "dreamcatcher" by stephen king.
it is'nt corny ........it's brilliantly plotted and the details will keep you reading day and night.
