Now on "Mortality" by C Hitchens. It's a thin book so will be a quick read.

I love Peter Robinson's books.

Almost finished A Clockwork Orange. The version that is as it was written. Not the American one with the last chapter missing.

Haven't read many books of late..last one i think was called 'The Forgotten Soldier' semi biographical tale of a German soldier on the eastern front from 1943 -1945.

Hope it's better than the film, which was more than a bit grim. According to WP American versions since 1986 have been able to include the final Chapter (21).

I'm interested in watching the film once I'm done to compare.

The violence in the book is mentioned of course but its not all that graphic in my opinion. I'm curious what the movie does with it.

Dont tell mom i work on the rigs she thinks i am a piano play in a whorehouse by paul carter great read

Shard

I didn't like it (the film violence) but then I am a pacifist! I do recall the film being very 70's in the worst possible way (bad fashion, primitive production, poor colour) but it would be an interesting comparison to make.

Irvine Walsh also explores some gratuitous violence in "Ecstasy".

I finally finished reading almost 1200 pages of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
