Filth
Irvine WelshKate Alton 📚@OcTBRChallenge I think gratuitous gore, obvious racism/homophobia/misogyny that is presented as justified, rape,or anything really morally dubious on the part of the MC stops it being fun for me. Take "Filth" by Irvine Welsh: *could* have been a fun book, but it just crossed the line.#OcTBRChat
