Maybe I'll get the book and read it. Thanks.
From that Wikipedia page on it:

"Many authors consider it the greatest work of the 20th century,[2] and it has been included in several lists of best books, such as Time's List of the 100 Best Novels, Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century, Bokklubben World Library and The Big Read. "

Lolita definitely made a huge impression on me. Here I am 55 years later talking about it. Myself, I don't get it up for pre-pubescent girls. But little girls can charm you out of your socks, for sure.

Come to think of it I should have read this in high school myself.

This thread is pissy. Everyone is fair game. Make a great parody. they are protected and the artists can't sue you for them. Go wild, make us proud.

I wasn't a big reader then but did read some. One of my very best friends told me then, "you get more out of a book than anyone I know."

I don't believe in reading for entertainment. Didn't in high school, don't now. I think you should get something out of a book. Same with any art. I don't watch TV unless I think I'm getting something out of it. I don't believe in pass times or hobbies, never have. I believe in passion(s), I've had many. In fact the laptop I'm typing on right now is named PASSION!!! :D

Little girls are sweet and charming til estrogen poisoning kicks in. Little boys are assholes, and when they become teenagers+... Well, they're still assholes, but at least I can relate to them :^D

Agreed.

Michael Jackson was a victim of his own success, obviously. His sanity was in doubt when he had IIRC skin lightening treatments and a nose job. Am I wrong there? He was intense but he was a madman, and his sex life? Well, seems pretty seedy, from what I've heard.
