Funny, I am actually on my way to Barnes and Noble, gonna buy a CD and a book. Might aswell pick up a copy of Clockwork Orange.

I'm gonna warn you that it's a bit hard to understand at first but after a couple of pages you'll start to understand what he's saying. BTW, what CD are you getting?

I enjoy it very much. http://www.thegoodthebadandthequeen.com/index.php?cat=7 On your left you will see a red picture of a house. Let it load, click a song to listen to. Kingdom of Doom is a good one.

For me a spoiler would be giving away the ending, where Alex gets caught mugging somebody, gets involved in a shootout with the police, and dies of a lucky shot to the head.
