In the last gasp of youth, Simon "Sick Boy" Williamson is back in Edinburgh. He taps into one last great scam: directing and producing a porn film. To make it work, he needs bedfellows: the lovely Nikki Fuller-Smith, a student with ambition, ego, and troubles to rival his own; old pal Mark Renton; and a motley crew that includes the neighborhood's favorite ex-beverage salesman, "Juice" Terry.

In the world of Porno, however, even the cons are conned. Sick Boy and Renton jockey for top dog. The out-of-jail and in-for-revenge Begbie is on the loose. But it's the hapless, drug-addled Spud who may be spreading the most trouble.

Porno is a novel about the Trainspotting crew ten years further down the line: still scheming, still scamming, still fighting for the first-class seats as the train careens at high velocity with derailment looming around the next corner.

In this National Book Award–winning novel from a "brilliantly breathtaking writer," a young Southerner searches for meaning in the midst of Mardi Gras. On the cusp of his thirtieth birthday, Binx Bolling is a lost soul. A stockbroker and member of an established New Orleans family, Binx's one escape is the movie theater that transports him from the falseness of his life.

With Mardi Gras in full swing, Binx, along with his cousin Kate, sets out to find his true purpose amid the excesses of the carnival that surrounds him. Buoyant yet powerful, The Moviegoer is a poignant indictment of modern values, and an unforgettable story of a week that will change two lives forever.

Hitchcock is a treasure trove for cinema enthusiasts, offering a rare opportunity to eavesdrop on conversations between two cinematic masters from very different backgrounds: Alfred Hitchcock and François Truffaut. This book-length interview explores each of Hitchcock's films in succession, providing an informative and entertaining introduction to his art, interests, and peculiar sense of humor.

The book delves into Hitchcock's impressions of classics like Rear Window ("I was feeling very creative at the time, the batteries were well charged"), his technical insights into the famous Psycho shower scene ("the knife never touched the body; it was all done in the [editing]"), and his reflections on flops such as Under Capricorn ("If I were to make another picture in Australia today, I'd have a policeman hop into the pocket of a kangaroo and yell 'Follow that car!'").

This is one of the most delightful film books in print, packed with insight and witticism, making it an essential read for those who appreciate the art of filmmaking and the legacy of Alfred Hitchcock.
