<p dir="auto">I've only read two; Harry Potter #1, which was shìte and The Wasp Factory, which I remember loving, though it was 20+ years ago now Christ.<br />
Rowling's Scottish, is she?  I can't abide that hack.</p>

<p dir="auto">I bought a few Tranters last week for 25p a pop, for old time's sake, and read one while I was away for a few days -<br />
True Thomas<br />
. Characterisation was not his strong point, or anything else for that matter, but it was readable. Massie is turgid at best, and his son spews forth particularly cretinous young fogey-isms in the<br />
Times<br />
each time I inadvisedly look at it. GMF is another of my favourites, of course.<br />

<p dir="auto">None, I'm proud to say although I think I have a copy of Lanark in one of the book cases. There's an article on Wiki and I see that I've read some Alan Massie, an Alistair MacLean, an RLS, nearly all of G. M. Fraser. A couple of Smolletts, Philip Kerr, Compton Mackenzie (non-fiction) a Wishart or two and the Tranter that provided the narrative for the worst film in the world.<br />

<p dir="auto">The competition isn't fierce, admittedly, but he's my favourite Bible-thumping, imperialist Tory by far! His novels are consistently good to great for me,<br />
The 39 Steps<br />
is as good a place as any to start, and can be found in one handy volume with the other, equally rousing, Richard Hannay stories in our local library. But the lesser known<br />
Salute To Adventurers<br />
is perhaps a particular favourite for sheer fun, wherein a humble Scottish chap of solid Calvinist stock goes to America, and meets some jolly nice Indians, Englishmen, Catholics and even Americans on occasion. And shoots a few of them, obviously. It's great!<br />

<p dir="auto">I've read all but Hogg and Rowling. All of which I enjoyed with the notable exception of<br />
Lanark<br />
, which was both dull and largely incomprehensible. I've spent the last 34 years distrusting Alasdair Gray, and everyone who's ever said a good word about him. Damn right I hold grudges! Anyhow, about a decade ago at the Book Festival we were all polled on our favourite Scottish novel, and I opted for Robin Jenkins'<br />
The Cone-Gatherers<br />
, which I have since reread at least twice, so I'll stick with that.<br />
