Bottom left or bottom mid I can't decide

(a) and (d) are probably the best of these 6

>>10479771
there are better ones?

>>10479747
Top left, as its not implicitly judgemental on ephebosexuals like the others

My copy has cover a, so maybe that's prejudiced me, but I like a best

F>A>D>E>B>C

d

(a) because you can rub your cock on it and imagine it's actually a girl's lips

>>10479910
This guy gets it

Posts like these make me worry about buying books secondhand

You forgot the best one

>>10480033
That is the best one, but you can’t actually buy it anywhere I don’t think. It was just a for-fun cover design contest iirc.

>>10480033
Legitimately the best one

Lolita was 12 mate, it's pedophilia. Also being an ephebophile in 21st century western society means youre either under ~22 or are broken in some way that you're basically a pedo. I understand that some girls within the defined age range (15-19) look like sexually mature adult women, but if you feel the need to identify young girls specifically then it's not their sexual maturity you're attracted to.

no this

Should i be worried if i got a boner while reading this book?

Absolute state of soyboys.

Nice try pal but I eat my onions and am exclusively attracted to adults

You missed the Balthus one

What the fuck is wrong with her foot?

>>10480385

it's modern art bro perspective is like, imperialist and shit, dog

>>10480385
Maybe she's chinese

>>10479747
Is the plastic wrapper on the lolly on (f) anachronistic?

>>10480382
Yeah.

>>10480013
Oh fug, this.
I also spotted a Spanish translation of Lolita in a Goodwill once that had a lovely cover.
Almost bought it, but saw the language and had to put it back. Some lady ended up buying it. I wonder if she knew it was in Spanis? I wonder if she cared?

>>10479922
You're right to be worried.

>>10480333
Not as long as you feel guilty about it.

>>10480389
Name 10 artists from the 20th century and I'll let you pretend to know what you're talking about.

>>10479782
>ACKSHULLY the correct term is ephebosexual
>don't judge me
Nabokov wrote Lolita to show the reader that the way it was written would make them sympathize with a pedophile.

>>10480571
I wonder if pseuds like you even held a copy of Lolita, because you sure as shit didn't read it.

>>10480571
Nobokov wanted that young cooch Anon, sorry to break it to you but the rest is bullshit just to get away with writing about it

>>10480382
this

My hero desu

>>10480382


Damn.

>>10480033
This, and D

Shit book though

>>10480319
How Islamophobic.

>>10479747
For me it’s (e)

>>10480033
This one is great

I also like the one with the scrunchie and with the crushed lolipop

>>10480033
Was this ever published though? Otherwise it’s >>10480382

>>10480722
>with the crushed lolipop
best one imo.

I want a personalized lolita cover, should I just print out some loli porn and tape it to the cover?

>>10479747
Out of those, I'd say F. But I like pic related the most. Shame someone threw away my book jacket, but I still like the plain cover that just says Lolita on it too.

>>10481308
ofc yes

>>10479747
>a
Good, simple, themed design. (Biased because I have it)
>b
Looks like YA shit that sits on airport shelves
>c
Looks like discount shit printed on cheap paper
>d
Nice, sadly it's in spanish
>e
The stamp makes it look like discount shit too
>f
Again, sort of YA looking though not as bad, looks a bit too modern for what it really is.

>>10481842
All of Modernista’s Nabokov covers are gorgeous.

A) good
B) Bad
C) Meh
D) Decent
E) Bad
F) Best.

The most crucial part of the story is Humbert Humbert's commentary. The diary he kept should be represented, the red has a dualistic symbolism as both love/blood, and it looks neat as the o in the title.

F) is the patrician choice.

this one is really underrated

What's this book about?

>>10481988
Evil little jeezebel seduces and entraps innocent man. Hilarity ensues.

I've got this one. Never seen it posted here before.

>Book of the highest quality materials
>Squander it all by putting the author on the cover

What did they mean by this?

>>10482269
>old pervy man fondling not yet fully blossomed flower
It’s perfect

>>10482269
Those sepia Everyman's are really ugly

>When the cute librarian tells you her favourite book is Lolita

I can't not make this joke. Wait a sec...

47 has the best cover.

If you live in some prude country that spies on its citizens, don't go deeper without a plausible deniability scheme and a traceless livecd system inside a DMZ.

Lol no

>>10479747
I'm partial to (a) or >>10480033


As a side note, the poster for the movie is also great

>>10480382
>love story
What?

>>10480549
The Spanish translation is bad

>>10479747
C because it's hilarious.

I just got banned from reddit. Great thread.

>>10479771
aren't all of anagrama's books in spanish?

>>10483508
just make a new account, then go back you absolute faggot

>>10480382

This is unironically the worst one.

>>10479747
F since it draws directly from the novel and doesn't assert any preconceptions

The Annotated Lolita is really the only edition you should read. It includes Nabokov's revisions which makes a huge difference.

This is the one I have, kinda meh.

>>10483907
Same.
>>10483883
Shame it doesn't also include the Russian translations additions to the afterword. Anyone know a book that includes this in English?
