					<description><![CDATA[Great reads Lisa. I&#039;m glad you did include the one you didn&#039;t like and why. It helps me when browsing what I want to read. I stopped reading several books recently within the 1st chapter because of the &quot;f&quot; word and sexy scenes right of the bat. so I appreciate your being candid about why you didn&#039;t like something.

Yes, I remember those days too, Patti. Interesting that it was rated X - I&#039;m guessing for the violence. I heard it was brutal to watch. Definitely not anything I want to put in my brain, whatever the rating!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://lisanotes.com/8-books-worth-my-time-and-1-that-wasnt/#comment-336991&quot;&gt;Sarah MumofThree World&lt;/a&gt;.

It&#039;s so interesting that you mention this because one of the women in our book club also learned Russian in college, and she didn&#039;t struggle much either with the made-up language! She enlightened us on some of the invented words that made much more sense once she explained what the Russian equivalent was. At one point in the book I started referring to an online glossary of words from the book, but I eventually stopped because (1) it was taking too long! ha, and (2) the author didn&#039;t include a glossary himself, so he must have wanted the reader to get through the book without one. Glad to hear that you liked the book tho. Obviously a lot of people have since it&#039;s considered a classic. :)]]></description>

Yes, I think you&#039;re safe to pass on both the book and the movie version of this one. :)]]></description>

My library had Big Feelings in all the formats: hardback, ebook, and audiobook. I tend to switch back and forth when I have that option. :) I&#039;m with you on a Clockwork Orange. Somehow I was never assigned it in school, maybe now I know why? lol]]></description>
