Welcome to the forums!
How are you finding Lolita? It's always sorta creeped me out.
Cheers,
Alyson

Re: A big Hello
Thank you all for the warm wishes!
I haven't read Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov; that story has always sent chills up and down my spine!
In Part 1 of the book I'm reading "Reading Lolita in Tehran" they do cover some of the Lolita story but the focus is how women who live in Iran interpret or relate this story and other stories as well.... They cover Scott Fitzgerald, Henry James, Jane Austen and the famous Vladimir Nabokov.... It's been an interesting read!
I'm waiting on my book .... " A Visit from the Goon Squad"
to join that discussion ....
What are you currently reading?!
