Badger Dec 2022 10:22pm, 27 Dec 2022 15,886 posts	0 Badger Oh sorry, my eye skipped over Linds' post, thought we were still on the TV version of Crow Road. As you were, as Grep would say.
Badger Dec 2022 10:23pm, 27 Dec 2022 15,887 posts	0 Badger Ignoring my previous two comments, yes it's worth persevering. Just try to hear the language as if Irvine Welsh wrote it and everything will be fine.

Little Nemo Jan 2023 7:48am, 9 Jan 2023 13,292 posts	0 Little Nemo I started The Hydrogen Sonata last night. Not read it before, will be sad to finish his last book.
LindsD Jan 2023 7:50am, 9 Jan 2023 59,191 posts	0 LindsD I still have quite a few of the Culture books. And some of the others I don't remember so may re-read.
