/lit/ - Literature

what the guys here think about that book?

STAND YOUR GROUND, BLACKGUARD
AND FACE THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS!
AMONG US STILL WALK THOSE SOULS WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN THE TOUCH OF LOLITA'S PAGES ON THEIR FINGERTIPS!

What say you to this?

Does /lit/ have any suggestions of books dealing with unreciprocated love?
Kind of like The Sorrows of Young Werther, but without the flowery writing style and love-at-first-sight crap.
Lolita was kinda sweet though.

I just finished reading Lolita and thought it was a really obnoxious book with a tendency towards really long run on sentences et beaucoup d'inutile putain français insérés sans raison putain.
>Humbertino is an asshole for kill Cue and then speaking out against Capital punishment.
>Mrs Haze's death is an unbelievable convenience.

Include book and author's name. Give me some inspiration /lit/

> Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita.

Lolita, Vladmir Nabakov

>It's all rape in Lolita. The whole "she wanted it" is Humbert being unreliable.

THIS.
Plus, it's statuary regardless.

What's a book that I can just sit down and enjoy, and NOT be a total philistine?

Pic related.

What book should I read after Lolita? I am considering Les Misérables.

also Lolita will be my introduction to /lit/erature.
