Marabou Stork Nightmares is probably one of my favourite books proper class read, I couldnt put it down
I'm a huge fan, and have been to see 'Filth' a reading from the book, at the Contact Theatre in Manchester twice! once with a housemate and once on a date (a strange thing to do for a date, but she thought it was cool)

I've even got a few of his audio books, for sampling purposes mostly

I've mentioned before but he's done some screenplays as well, one called "You'll Have Had Your Hole" - which I thought was amazing! but quite short at around 95+ pages..

I'd love to see more of his books made into films, esp, Filth, that was an amazing read, and am looking forward to Porno/Trainspotting 2, as they've (all the original cast) have agreed to it
