2004

by Irvine Welsh

Choose us. Choose life. Choose mortgage payments; choose washing machines; choose cars; choose sitting oan a couch watching mind-numbing and spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fuckin junk food intae yir mooth. Choose rotting away, pishing and shiteing yersel in a home, a total fuckin embarrassment tae the selfish, fucked-up brats ye've produced. Choose life.

The bestselling novel by Irvine Welsh that provided the inspiration for Danny Boyleโ€™s hit film takes us into the world of Mark Renton and his attempts to escape the bleak and destructive lifestyle of Edinburgh's heroin addicts. With its raw Scottish dialect and brutal honesty, Trainspotting navigates the challenges of addiction, poverty, and the quest for meaning in a seemingly indifferent world.
