Sometimes A Great Notion is extremely confusing. You would be lost in that book. Now, I've never read A Clockwork Orange, but I HAVE heard good things about it. It also seems like that book fits in with the dreary science fiction novels such as 1984 and A Brave New World. I would read the book first. The book is sad and humorous all at once.
...because I'm not intelligent enough? I assure you, I'm quite able to find my way through books.
I've heard that
Clockwork Orange is a good book as well, if slightly sad. That's all right. I might read it at some point; I might not.
I liked
Brave New World. I read it earlier this year. You've got to understand some of the levels to be able to fully appreciate it, and you've got to understand that he's not extending his views through the text. I liked the style in particular although I did find the ending a bit disappointing.
1984 is on my reading list for the summer.
NO! I never said you weren't intelligent enough. I was just telling you that
is better to read first rather than see the movie. As I said earlier, I never saw the film, but the book was really good! I laughed all the way through.
Great! Now I feel guilty again. I guess this brings me to a 3.
