A list of books I've read recently with some occasional gibberish thrown in.

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE - Anthony Burgess
This is a very difficult read because of Burgess's invented language he uses throughout. I would have had no idea what was going on without having seen Kubrick's movie about twenty times.
The movie follows the book practically line for line and plus this edition has the real final chapter with Alex's seeing the error of his way i.e perhaps redemption. This chapter was missing from U.S A edition for decades.
