If you like that kinda shit, try reading/flipping through Trainspotting. All dialogue, all the time.
The Trainspotting movie is based on a novel, but I didn't read it yet.
I went through a phase where I was a huge fan of Thompson's work and read everything and went looking for similar items. A couple that were kind of "classics" in my own mind during that time were A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess and Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh.
A Clockwork Orange was always awesome to me when it was an edition that included the glossary in the back. Was difficult to find when I was into it, but amazon didn't exist yet either.
Trainspotting sent me through a phase with Irvine Welsh similar to the phase I went through with Thompson. I read as much as I could. He kept writing long after I finished the phase though.
Either way, both have plenty of sex, drugs, and violence and should suit him fine as long as he enjoys the challenge of dialect. I never really saw it as a challenge but loved the imagery created from words I wasn't used to.
this?
