Skagboys (Mark Renton Series Book 1)

by Irvine Welsh

Analysing novels meant ripping oot their soul and it destroyed my enjoyment of them. Ah couldnae allow masel tae be trained tae think that way. Only by refusing tae study literature was ah able tae maintain ma passion for it.

Everything is temporary. Don’t expect a job for life. A house for life. A bird for life.

life can jist go fae a constellation ay possibilities tae a scabby dirt track lined wi potholes.

(In the gairdin ay eunuchs, even the gadgie wi the two-inch cock cannae help but swagger.)
