Read Trainspotting. It's a very different book.

Also don't make the mistake I did and not notice the Glaswegian-English dictionary in the back until you'd finished.

Seconded. You'll want to know your bairns from your keks.

I did this exact same thing with "A Clockwork Orange", but I think it may have been serendipitous in that case.

A Clockwork Orange has a translation section in the back?! Well now I feel dumb.

Some versions do, some don't. I don't think it's canonical.

Woah! didn't know there was a book, only the film was suggested to me. I'll check it out!
