A Sense of Freedom by Jimmy Boyle- violent gangster turned artist. It's a really eye-opening book that really shows how much a person's background and environment can define their actions and their lives. The fact that so many violent criminals (Including Ian Brady) emerged from the same area (The Gorbals district of Glasgow) at around the same time (born in the 1940s) really demonstrates nurture's triumph over nature.
I'm reading Trainspotting at the present moment, and it's absolutely fantastic- one of my top 5 novels. The Scottish phonetic spelling is a bit difficult at first, but no harder than reading Shakespeare.
