Okay, KatB... if you are seriously interested in
discussing/debating/dissecting and actually staying remotely on topic, then
show us your tits. Iīll be waiting for you to post. If you want to
respond to my questions/observations or pose some of your own, I will be as
happy as the proverbial scatological porcine. Maybe you can shame some of
the others into putting their library cards where their mouths are.

If you listen closely you can just make out the sound of me throwing in the
towel on this whole idea. Iīve done all I can. Iīm out.

Abbadon: That is what makes a discussion group so enlightening for
everyone. Donīt tell us that we wonīt get it. Try to explain it (unless
you are just being cryptic without really having a point... I donīt suspect
that is the case). I can hear in the corner of my mind a recorded speech
from some stuffy British politician... "We conservatives have always
maintained the need for an experiment with a tougher regime for depriving
young football hooligans of their (canīt recall the words)... I am pleased
to announce today that the experiment planned in our election manifesto
will begin in Surrey. These will be no holiday camps! We will introduce on
a regular basis drills, parades and inspections..." Is this to what you
are referring?
Think of this as a seminar. If you have something enlightening to share,
please do. I am, I was, I will be

Maybe we should read a novel pertinent especially to the atrocities of our
English brothers across the pond, such as "Kim," or maybe "Lord of the
Rings." To get a perspective. Wops? Wargs? You tell me the difference! ____________________ Make way for the bad guy! |

I donīt mean to taint your enjoyment of the book, as I feel that it can be
especially pertinent to the attentions of a minority group such as this
site is aimed at, but I feel that by reading the book as a non-English
reader you will loose some of the more subtle political undertones that can
be percieved by somebody growing up in the shadow past English political
events. ____________________ Light is changing to shadow, and casting a shroud over all we have known. |

I apologise, Kira. I thought that "first three chapters" suggestion was
more a guideline than a rule... I should have checked with everybody. I
decided to post about the first part (seven chapters) because
a.) I thought the chapters were fairly short
b.) I thought it might be easier to discuss broken into the segments that
the author used, and
c.) I was beginning to suspect that nobody else was actually going to post
anything and I was trying to light a fire under them.
I understand completely that some people read more quickly than others and
that this particular selection uses some different language choices. I was
not trying to one-up anyone, I was just trying to get the ball rolling.
Hope I havenīt offended.

Alrighty...letīs say that everyone who wants to discuss A Clockwork Orange
should be through the first 3 chapters by the end of this week.
If youīve already read it, that will be easy. But if anyone out there is
reading it for the first time, it takes a little while to get used to the
lingo.
I was thinking we would do Siddharte next, but I think thereīs no reason we
couldnīt do them together... ____________________ Wind me up and make me crawl to you, tie me up until I call to you. |
