Thread: My list - modern lit

I've never read anything by Carlton Mellick. His titles and the descriptions of his books interested me. I went to Borders but could not find any, so I will have to order them in.

Nice list man...alot of Palahniuk. One of my favorites, ploughing through his book atm. Read survivor,lullaby,diary and fight club. And non-fiction(interesting book). Looking forward to ''Haunted''.
Nice taste overall. Too much pratchett for my tastes...

My favourite Welsh was Ecstacy. Even more than Trainspotting. Great list though. I'm printing it out to see what I can find cause what I have read on your list, I like.

I'm not so sure about having Filth up there. Probably his worst work, I'm thinking, though he made quite the bounceback with Porno, I'm told.
