New post coming soon, in the mean time...

Read "A Clockwork Orange"--it's one of the most brilliant reads I've found in years. Love it, hate it, read it either way. It's a modern classic, so if you're by your oddy-knocky, take a viddy at this bezoomny book, it's real horror show and it'll have you by the yarbles. (here's a list of Burgess' vocabulary he created for this tome, but the book is perfectly comprehensible without it http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Lot/3272/nadsat.htm)

I really need to re-read this! Did I tell you the story about the film? How I rented it twice and BOTH times got the same scratched copy that cut off halfway through? The first half is brilliant, so I'm sure Kubric pulled the other half off as well. Movie party? We can meet half way...Denver? St. Louis? Let me know :)
