I just finished reading A Clockwork Orange for the second time and felt like discussing with anyone who's interested
I think Anthony Burgess is more or less a genius for writing this story
The slang he came up with [mixture of russian and cockney] is just awesome
And I've taken to using it in my everyday life
If anyone's already posted a thread about this, I apologize
But I was far too lazy to look through every page

You don't have to look through the pages. You can use the Search function which is at the top of every page. Good luck!

Has anyone ever heard the Rob Zombie song 'Never Gonna Stop" ??
It's all about a clockwork orange and it's a kickass song as well
Wasnt sure whether to put that in the music section or not, but I figured it would fit in a discussion about the book

I also love that book. Another milestone in transgressive literature.

The movie is one of my favourites, but I haven't read the book yet. I actually dressed up as Alex for our "graduation party" -thing in high school. And I kicked some ass with that costume (not literally..)

I love A Clockwork Orange. Coincidentally I'm wearing a spanish CWO shirt that I got in Argentina. It says "La Naranja Mecanica"
