A Clockwork Orange
Anthony Burgess
W. W. Norton & Company, 1986
Fantastic, yet complicated
I say complicated because of the language that's found throughout the novel. The entire book is written in first person, and we focus on Alex, whose language will be really hard for some people to get into. But if you read it the second or third time, then you'll ...

The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove
Christopher Moore
Harper Paperbacks, 2004
Randomness supreme
This is one of Christopher Moore's best works. It is very funny, random, and thoroughly enjoyable. Must be slightly eccentric to find it amusing. Not a "traditional" humor novel.
