/lit/, how long does it take you to read (and actively read, not just trying to blow through) an average sized book?

Pic related, I started Lolita yesterday, and am about 2/3 of the way through. Albeit, that is without having school. Though, I did have other obligations this weekend.

During school, though, I stuck to about a book a week (300 pages or less) or a book every two weeks (400 pages or more.) Keeping in mind my school day doesn't end until about 7PM with miscellaneous practices.

Hey /lit/, so I was wondering if anyone knew of some books with fucked up themes. I'm currently reading Lolita and have found it to be pretty interesting and was looking for more books like it (not the pedophile part, but the more the fact that it's pretty fucked up).

Any suggestions?

I am frightened that this novel will turn me into pedobear. I'm still reeling from the mutual-masturbation scene in Norwegian Wood that I just finished, and now Nabokov is giving me even harder erections.

A true love story, if a little creepy.

YOU GOT A FANTASY?! IMAGINATION CAN TAKE YA TO WHERE YOU WANNA BE!!!

Thanks, The California Raisins! Now, instead of ACTUALLY going out and having sex with prepubescent girls, I can just read about it in a BOOK!

Check 'em the fuck out.

Is anyone else annoyed by the covers for Lolita? And Christ, look at that quote; fuck you Vanity Fair.

One of the major points of the narrative is that Humbert is DELUSIONAL. His "sincere" love for Lolita is for an image of a young girl not the girl herself. He's a monster who, while sympathetic, still rapes and captures a young girl.

The power of the novel is found in the fact that, while we recognize what he's doing is ostensibly wrong, he's still a human being. He's just a horrible person.

Did you need to check a lot of words in the dictionnary or am I ignorant?

Thoughts?
I'm Currently reading this and am absolutely in love with Nabokov's writing. Fuck the haters, this is beautiful

Plus I'm going to sound like a pretentious elitist fag if I can learn all the vocabulary Nabokov utilizes

Hey, fags. I just finished this book. I thought it was pretty great. Humorous throughout but shit got real when it needed to. What did you think?

So... I didn't read 1984. I've got an essay due on a theme developed throughout the novel tomorrow...

I went to a pay for essay site, pulled chunks from multiple samples, and am going to mix and mash them together until I create a suitable, nay passable essay on the theme of totalitarianism.

All because I chose to read Lolita in my spare time instead of a book outlining the inevitable future of society.

Lolita general because I prefer prose to frustration.

What is prose? How do I know what prose is good and what prose is bad?

Pic related. This is supposed to have good prose but I picked it up and it's written like a lot of other books I've read.
