New Independent Reading
I have trouble finding books that I really enjoy reading, but once I find a book, I really like it, and it seems to stick with me. I have read mostly books that I did not care much for in this class so far, so I really wanted to choose a book this time that I would actually enjoy. I asked around with my classmates to see what they have read and how they liked certain books. Any time I have someone telling me that a book they read was entirely twisted and crazy, then I am interested immediately. That is my kind of book. So, clearly when I heard about the book "A Clockwork Orange", I was sold, I bought it on my Kindle right them. I am only one chapter into the book and I already love it. The main characters in this book are the definition of crazy and twisted and the book started right off the bat with action. This book is not all awesome though, I was shocked to find such a large amount of odd words that I had never seen before. Words like "rassoodocks" meaning 'mind', "mesto" meaning 'place', "storry" meaning 'smooth; fast', "moloko" meaning 'milk laced with alcohol', "horrorshow" meaning 'well or good', "deng" meaning 'money', "crasting" meaning 'stealing things'. Well, you get the point, and that isn't even a handful of them. So I am, for the first time, needing to look up many of the words that I come across. Making this a more difficult book to read, as well as making me take my time with it and pay attention to the small things. I have high hopes for this book. I also here that there is a movie, and a rather crazy movie at that.
