A Clockwork Orange

FYI the edition I'm reading is apparently meant for German students of English and it has like a million footnotes in German on each page and IT'S AWESOME.

Awesome German footnotes aside, I don't really think this book was for me. I watched the first 20 minutes-ish of the movie & turned it off because I was too grossed out by all the violence. I ended up skimming over a lot of descriptions of attacking old people. I mean, I also was not in favor of the totalitarian regime, but basically I didn't relate to/care about any of the characters. I tried, as an exercise in empathy, but didn't get that far. It was kind of funny in places and I had a good time with the “nadstat” words, but overall... well, eh.
