From the library of Message christiguc--Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. This one has been gathering dust on my TBR pile and I every time I look at it I swear that I will read it next... I never do. I'll read it next. Edited for touchtones

Yes to A Clockwork Orange - such a great book! Anyone read Robinson Crusoe?

Lucky Jim - yup (v disappointing). How about A Clockwork Orange - can't believe we've missed this one so far.

Ah me droogies...A Clockwork Orange is disturbing but still a classic...need to add it to my library list. When I was 13 I read It by Stephen King. I really wish I had not done that, because it seriously messsed me up every step of the way, but still I kept on reading it. Red Dragon ...

... I read Less Than Zero and American Psycho. I also saw both films. I also see you have references in this thread to A Clockwork Orange. I haven't read that novel (I want to soon though) but it is one of my favorite films. That's my background. Here's my opinion: American Psycho ...

Thank you for all the advice. I think I might try another one of his books >5 panaranjado I did think A Clockwork Orange was excellent, despite the violence. It did bother me some, but I felt the story itself redeemed the violence. In American Psycho it was just all about the violence (and ...

Less Than Zero is definitely less graphic, although it is indeed bleak. I noticed you gave A Clockwork Orange five stars, so I'm guessing "raw violence and sadism" is acceptable as long as it's not described in excruciating detail? If so, Less Than Zero shouldn't be too offensive. Glamoram ...

I've tried A Clockwork Orange several times, but I can never quite get myself through it. I'm sure you get used to his using (entirely too many) non-English words, but I just found it annoying.

#171: I highly recommend Never Let Me Go and A Clockwork Orange is my fave book of all time. I wish I could get that feeling of reading it for the first time again!

26. (My original goal!) A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. The entire time I was reading this novel, I was wondering why this was not a book I had been required to read in high school. Powerful stuff, that teens could actually relate to. I'm glad I eventually got to it. Next up: Star W ...

2&9: I am jealous. I was happy when I got White Oleander, A Clockwork Orange, Reading Lolita in Tehran, and 1984. They're more common, but it took me a while to get them. & some of the classics. They seem to cost a small fortune, despite being everywhere.

13,18,19 Yep, A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess was a great movie I thought when I saw it years ago. I read the book afterwards, also great, and to me it seemed as if the screenplay was nearly word for word from the book. Oddly I read that Burgress hated the movie.

... expected something from it that it couldn't give me, I guess. Sort of -- and I realize this is probably an exaggeration -- Clockwork Orange, which I highly respect but don't like, meets Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, which is/was my favorite of Joyce's (other than a couple of his ...

Outside of books that I absolutely love, Anna Karenina, Lolita, Clockwork Orange, and perhaps a few others, the only books I have reread are those that I teach. Sometimes I'm rereading it because I'm teaching it for the first time. I always read along with my students because I don't want ...

I was going to read A Clockwork Orange but ended up reading The Alchemist which was normally not something I would have chosen but I liked it even though it was short. Now I think I am going to start on The Island of Dr. Moreau. #75-The Thirteenth Tale is great! I really liked it!

#39 and 43 I started reading A Clockwork Orange not knowing there was a list of terms in the back of the book. So, I was reading wondering "Am I going to be able to read this? I'm not sure I know what is going on!" Then thankfully I figured everything out and I can tell it is going to be ...

A Clockwork Orange is BRILLIANT!! The language is hard to follow at first, but once you pick up the slang, it transforms into an amazing story!
