A clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

Put this book off for to long as I thought the slang would make it a pain to read. Turns out most of it is anglicized Russian and even my, very, basic grasp on that language allowed me to read it with ease. It's a classic, but we all kinda know that.

My friends (90 books items)

"Burgess' original, imaginative and inventive dystopian vision is recommended to read for various reasons, the least not being his interesting linguistical explorations."
