James Kelman's book is one of my all time favourites. It's about a man called Sammy who had his wallet and new shoes stolen, went blind, got himself arrested......and that's just the start of his troubles.

The most important hour is always the present, the most significant person is the one opposite you right now, and the most necessary deed is always love. - Meister Eckhart (c.1260 - c.1328)
