Unlikely unless you are an illiterate professional poker player.
Audiobook,right?

Bookwright.I kill me.
Which brings up a valid point. For slow learners, should the volume be turned up and the material be played at 1/2 speed, or should repeat be left on the same chapter?Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
Indeed he was! (2nd A 3rd books)...but YES he became...Quote:

A Clockwork Orange is a dystopian novella by Anthony Burgess published in 1962
A Clockwork Orange is a dystopian movie directed Stanley Kubrick released in 1971.:unsure:
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
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.
