One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey

Did you love the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest? Me too, but one night when I was a youngster I was watching an interview with Ken Kesey and the interviewer asked him, how he liked the movie version of his book. He said the director had invited him to the set to see it, but he told him, "I would rather watch the Hell's Angels rape my daughter." So, I am guessing Kesey was not a fan. It's a shame because this is one of those cases where the movie does live up to the greatness of the book.

If you haven't read the book do yourself a favor and check it out. Kesey is one of the American greats and unfortunately left us way too early.
