Leery of Lolita

I'm here again, and I finally have my next book. Lolita by Vladimir Nobokov. I got it yesterday from the library, and plan to start reading today. Actually, I did begin reading the book, but it was the introduction. On top of an impending cold and it being nearly midnight when I began, I couldn't find it in me to keep focused on it. So, a new start today and I'll be on my way. I've heard things about the central theme of the book being a bit on the racy side, so I hope I'll like it.

  3. I can't wait to read about your thoughts on this scandalous book. Our high school library does not have this book, and I wonder why???

  4. I heard A LOT about this little novel! I personally would never read this book because it is about a 70 year old man who develops feelings for a 12 year old girl who yearns for his attention, sorry if I ruined the novel for you... None the less, his novel is considered a classic...
