Clockwork Orange was another book that our English teacher turned us onto. He was a brilliant English teacher. He gave us really cool stuff to read outside of the syllabus. Catch 22 was one he got me into as well. I still remember the passage he used with us for a language exercise; it was the bit in the plane when Yossarian realises the other guy's been hit by shrapnel, and his guts are hanging out.
