    ... a lot of which is transparent if you know Russian, as that
    appendix shows. Or you can turn it around and pick up some Russian
    vocabulary that way.

    (Unicode/UTF-8 post)

    The russian rCL-a-+-C-+-e-+rCY is pronounced rCLha-ra-shohrCY meaning
    rCLgoodrCY/rCLwellrCY. In /A Clockwork Orange/ Anthony Burgess used
    rCLhorrorshowrCY to create a dark, bilingual pun. rCLHorrowshowrCY
    might be a typo.

    I read the book years ago, but when I saw some words in the appendix I'm thinking I missed a lot. I do remember using a vocabulary that I found
    online.

    I read the book first then then movie unless my memory is
    worse than I think it is. I did not much like the movie but that
    was on other grounds than the story.
