Nope, Of Mice and Men had a poor plot, it didn't interest me much. Certain characters were thought out well, such as Curley's wife & Lennie, doesn't mean I enjoyed it though...
Great book. Moved me to tears. 
I like to interpret Clockwork Orange (Chapter 21 inclusive) as a depiction of the cyclic nature of life, with the protagonist Alex revelling in violence and the accompanying sense of power, eventually renouncing such behavior, and potentially raising the next generation of young criminals who will victimize Alex just as he victimized his own elders (old woman, man w/ book outside bar, etc.). The Queen song "We Will Rock You" is relevant here, in a way. Also, Alex's feelings toward classical music remind me of Gary Oldman's character from Leon.
Warning: Violence
