[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The op’s post literally said: “every once in awhile I think about reading (Lolita)….If you have read it, I'd like to hear what you think.” Your response was to tell her to go back to Sophie Kinsella. Maybe you don’t consider that  a cheap shot but I (who — again — has read the book, and multiple times as a matter of fact) do.

At any rate, I’m done here. We shall all be dumped where the weed decays. The rest is rust and stardust. Have a great night.

DP. Actually, OP did come off unsophisticated. She admits she hasn't read the book. She reads a plot summary and concludes "it's bad" and wastes everyone's time with this post when she could have read up on the book, such as in wiki and come to
a basic understanding of what the book is about and why it is important in Western literature. It is masterful art. Beautifully written. Incredible character development. I especially liked the author's use of footnotes. It's an important novel whose theme has been taken up by theater, ballet, art and literature.[/quote]
