Status Updates From Men in Love

Chapter 13

I’ve stalled reading men in love found it boring more than half way through it.

“Women: what the fuck they see in men is beyond me. If I had my way, I'd pay them four times as much for doing the same job. Watch society instantly improve as those useless dick swingers topped themselves en
masse.” -Simon David Williamson aka Sick Boy

“Rage still consumes Frank Begbie. The faces of the crowd.
Those gormless ghouls, always bearing silent but judging testimony to his violence; he hated them more than the dozy cunt on the deck, who at least had the balls to come ahead.”

Chapter 11: Spring is in the air.

Finds schrecklich (mochte Porno aber bis jetzt ist es “sie hatte lange blonde Haare und große pralle Brüste und einen festen großen hintern und eine rasierte Scheide und da musste er sich verlieben”)

can't really write any more sequels when one of your main characters is dead. but you know what we CAN write?? prequels!!! 😁

It is not bad. But nowhere on the level of the other novels with Renton, Sick Boy, Spud and Begbie. Hope it improves.

Beginning to get under my skin ever so slightly but still really enjoying.

It's pretty good so far. But I am not enamored by this.

I feel a rewatch of Trainspotting coming on

I forgot the very specific - laugh and then immediately regret it - sense of humour that Irvine Welsh has, I love it. I think there’s an absurdity and tragicomic quality to Welsh’s writing that is quite unique.

Excited to read the rest of this and re-listen to the Men In Love album (actually quite good and not just a marketing gimmick as it turns out).

Warra crescendo

Begbie’s best man speech 😱 - predictably inappropriate

It’s getting better n better

Jesus Christ, this is amazing.

For how far in I am, not a great deal has happened.
