"1984" by George Orwell
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Animal Farm by George Orwell
I think they are all books related to the idea of utopia/distopia. I have read the first three on the list and they are pretty good

I have to agree, A Clockwork Orange the novel is probably most similar. But if you do read it and want to experience to remain the same, make sure you get the version of the book that only has 20 chapters. If you want to read the story that the author INTENDED, get the real version with the final, 21st chapter. Also try to get the one where Burgess writes the introduction in which he rants about the fact that the book was published without the final chapter. He is hilarious.

Did you not know that A Clockwork Orange was a novel? I will tell you, having read it, that it is a difficult read because of all the "nadsat talk" (the slang, derived mostly from Russian, used in the novel).
I do not reccomend the novel for a novice, but good luck.

"Fight Club" by Chuck Palahniuk seems a good fit, in terms of the nihilistic view violence/cerebral/humor blend.
Nothing like a Kubrick film though.

If you're meaning random and senseless violence, how about American Psycho?
