| Discussion: Nabakov he was an arrogant buffoon. some say his talent is enormous, but not I. >>By Ellen after reading "lolita" i thought to myself what is the big deal- found it a bit boring actually and have never read another work by nabakov- am i missing something? any suggestion as to another work that might better capture the "genius" of his prose >>By mike well he inspired the song,...Dont stand so close to me..... >>By Sting I found Lolita disturbing, dark yet comic. >>By Gary N. With the exception of a section in the middle where I got tremendously bored, I think Lolita is one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. The subject matter is difficult, but the language is utterly breathtaking. >>By Caenis i havent read it but i am looking for a good read. can someone give me a good book by him? >>By shiaoren As soon as I picked Lolita up, I couldn't put it down. It is such a beautiful, heart wrenching book that blurs the line between what is socially acceptable and what is considered morally disgusting. At times I would find myself giggling at poor, pathetic Humbert Humbert's commentary-other times I would clasp my hand over my mouth in horror at his creepy, obsessive thought process. Some may think that Nabakov's style is too monotonous and boring, but I like the way he guides his reader through the story at a steady pace-not leaving anything out. >>By Friebs You are not logged in.
