In your other thread, I discussed A Clockwork Orange. The 1971 film. Try reading the Anthony Burgess novel of the same name published in 1962. It will take you about forty minutes to an hour and a quarter maybe even two hours to read the first few pages. I guarantee it. That's because it is in a different language. Mainly futuristic English slang and idioms that make up the story. Sort of like George Orwell's wordspeak in 1984. In A Clockwork Orange there is a glossary/appendix at the end of novel. You will need to constantly refer to it when first reading those early pages. But once you get a hang of it, the reading of the novel runs pretty smoothly.

One of my favorites with the slangs the in out in out and gulliver always cracks me up...
 
I like John Waters' quote - “If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck 'em.”
 
I don't like to read books either. if you have a ******** problem, try to read "The African Queen" and your problem is solved :*****:

P.S. : I had to read this book for school (English) and it is a very boring book.
