Hopefully he cared enough to write in grammatically correct sentences and edit any spelling mistakes.
I bet you'd be angry if he didn't because that would show what a low opinion he has of his audience.

Really trying to like the TV show but it's so badly adapted with characters being introduced and then seemingly just as quickly dropping off the face of the Earth.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the rock guy Gabrielle a huge part of the first book and extremely intrinsic to the plot?

As for The Dome it was one episode and done for me but apparently even those people who liked it are calling it shit now.Seemed to me that it was written by King with such a definitive end and trying to stretch beyond those limitations was an act of pure greed destined to fail.

A Clockwork Orange is a dystopian novella by Anthony Burgess published in 1962

[IdolEyes787]

A Clockwork Orange is a dystopian movie directed Stanley Kubrick released in 1971.:unsure:

[themanwithaname]

A Clockwork Orange is a dystopian novel by Anthony Burgess published in 1962. Set in a near future English society that has a subculture of extreme youth violence, the novel has a teenage protagonist, Alex, who narrates his violent exploits and his experiences with state authorities intent on reforming him.[1] When the state undertakes to reform Alex—to "redeem" him—the novel asks, "At what cost?". The book is partially written in a Russian-influenced argot called "Nadsat". According to Burgess it was a jeu d'esprit written in just three weeks.[2]
In 2005, A Clockwork Orange was included on Time magazine's list of the 100 best English-language novels written since 1923,[3] and it was named by Modern Library and its readers as one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.[4] The original manuscript of the book is located at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada since that institution purchased the documents in 1971

[IdolEyes787]

For fuck's sake.You're retort was to copy/past from Wikipedia without the bother of even editing out the numbered references .OK in that case .....

A Clockwork Orange is a 1971 dystopian crime film written, produced, and directed by Stanley Kubrick, adapted from Anthony Burgess's 1962 novella A Clockwork Orange. It employs disturbing, violent images to comment on psychiatry, juvenile delinquency, youth gangs, and other social, political, and economic subjects in a dystopian near-future Britain.
Alex (Malcolm McDowell), the main character, is a charismatic, sociopathic delinquent whose interests include classical music (especially Beethoven), rape, and what is termed "ultra-violence". He leads a small gang of thugs (Pete, Georgie, and Dim), whom he calls his droogs (from the Russian друг, "friend", "buddy"). The film chronicles the horrific crime spree of his gang, his capture, and attempted rehabilitation via controversial psychological conditioning. Alex narrates most of the film in Nadsat, a fractured adolescent slang composed of Slavic (especially Russian), English, and Cockney rhyming slang.
The soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange features mostly classical music selections and Moog synthesizer compositions by Wendy Carlos (then known as Walter Carlos). The artwork of the now-iconic poster of A Clockwork Orange was created by Philip Castle with the layout by designer Bill Gold.

I'm a little on the fence about whether or not to read The Salmon of Doubt as it's unfinished but I most likely will.

Also Stephen King books clearly better than the tv/film spins off...

Starting Clive Cussler's newest book. His universe has expanded. He has his normal books with the government agency called NUMA. Then he also his historic fiction line about train robberies, mining strikes, smuggling alcohol during prohibition, and that type of stuff. Moving back to modern times, he is writing his "Trout" series about a husband / wife team of Marine scientists. This is my least favorite. Also he writing a series about a corporation that owns a very fast boat but it is disguised as an old run down boat. These people get paid and sometimes are hired by the CIA. The hero of the series wears a fake leg and stores items inside. I think the name of the hero is Captain Cabrillo.

The latest Cabrillo book is what I am starting to read.

None of Cussler's books are overly complex and they are easy to follow. They are fairly predictable but sometimes that's okay for me.

Jeff Winston was 43 and trapped in a tepid marriage and a dead-end job, waiting for that time when he could be truly happy, when he died.
And when he woke and he was 18 again, with all his memories of the next 25 years intact. He could live his life again, avoiding the mistakes, making money from his knowledge of the future, seeking happiness.
Until he dies at 43 and wakes up back in college. Again.

I'm really enjoying it so far. About 3/4 through.

She received fantastic accolade for it being such a unique novel. The book's premise was decent but it all moved so slowly, and the sequel was horrendous.

The Dark Tower by good old Stephen King

[laughs]

I'm currently reading both fiction and non-fiction. Well, I have no choice with the non-fiction. I'm applying for a Master's in Communication Studies, and I've been prescribed a list of readings.
Fiction: I just began Nikolai Gogol's "The Squabble (https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/nikolai-gogol/the-squabble/)" yesterday. I skipped the first short story to read "Olde Worlde Landowners" first. I will read the titular third next, and then, finally, the first--"The Carriage." This is my first time reading Gogol, and I must say I really like the experience.
Non-Fiction: In my bid to make a head-start, I've begun going through this list of college-level Marketing (https://www.bartleby.com/subject/business/marketing) titles and references. I reached out to a career counselor, who says everybody is preparing ahead by reading in advance, and I can't believe her. My application, I'm told, must include a list of books I found useful from this list.

Ah, George.

My Aunt took me to the Cellar Door in D.C. to see him when I was about 14.

He was so stoned, all he could do was giggle; it was hilarious.

They gave us our money back and we left.

It is a great series if it is your genre.

[Stehle]

B.V. Larson's "Clone World" (Undying Mercenaries #12) of the Undying Mercenaries Series

(Just finished it last night... It can be a bit hokey listen (audio book), but I like narrator and can be quite addicting if you start with volume #1.) :alien:

Hmm...

I have not listened to / or read this BUT...

Star Trek - Picard - The Last Best Hope (Una McCormack) 2020 [M4B]

Just as stated above is out there... I haven't watched the show I just scanned though the audio book for quality and completeness,

but a friend said to listen to it BEFORE I started binging out on it. (Just waiting on season end.)

They said it fleshes out some characters, adds new characters and why...anyways... more back story perhaps. :)

Old folks on here already probably already have it... epub's and mobi's??? I don't do, but there are German languages on Usenet.... you guys use you noggins,

switch shite around the author's name Una McCormack ... titles (most are videos), don't have it yet? "Make it so number one", "Engage!" ...Stay Safe!... cheers, mate :)
