ReplyDeleteHow disturbing was "A Clockwork Orange" to you? I found that the movie was more disturbing than the book, but the book was also quite disturbing. I think the visuals in the movie probably scarred me for life.
25, 35, 36 and 62 are a few of my favorites! I haven't read The Right Stuff or The Bell Jar. Suggest?
The Right Stuff is pretty good however it was very very long. That one came on a recommendation from a friend of mine (the movie is good as well, but definitely read the book first). I read The Clockwork Orange for a psychology class in high school, it was VERY disturbing (as is the movie!).
