/lit/ - Literature

With confidence

Get hard, hang it on your dick and wait in the checkout line like that. Make the librarian scan it where it is

>>12007211
Along with some psychology shit

>>12007211
You don't ultimately decide how people perceive you; you can't control whether or not someone will think you look weird buying lolita. don't worry about it.

>>12007211
Check out pale fire at the same time.

This also works >>12007244

>>12007211
By not worrying about it or being a girl.

>tfw reading it rn
>been getting consistent boners since he picked her up from camp and the sexing starts
pls fbi no

repeatedly insist that you're not a pedophile. then smile really big, like you're trying to show them all of your teeth.

>be me
>reading Lolita in my high school math class
>”oh anon, what are you reading”
>give her the book so she can read the little blurbs on the back
>she scans it for a bit, laughs
>”yeah, sounds like an anon kind of book to me”
>mfw

Anyone else here the residential autist of their grade?

>>12007211
How do you check this out without looking weird

>>12007542
underrated

>>12007211
I was the stereotypical Virgin, Chad in high school, I checked it out with my girlfriend and let her flip through it,
then I went home and read it and talked to my friends about it, good read

>>12007211
pay a child to take it out of the library for you

>>12007880
You can't

If you could see yourself how others saw you, you'd vanish on the spot. Stop caring.

this is one of the most popular novels of the 20th century. nobody is going to bat an eyelid doggy.

order it from Amazon

>>12007211
who cares

>>12007211
Ask the person where is the nearest sexy lingerie store that has extra small sizes in stock.

>>12007211
Just be a cute gril

>>12007211
I read a good third of this book in park with children running an playing around me. Few know the book, fewer care and, even if some would care, nobody tries to know the name of the book a nameless person sitting on a bench is reading.
Get over yourself anon.

>>12007244
this is the only way for an alpha

>>12007211
Like most anons have told you already, you can't control how other people perceive you. Lolita is easily one of the best novels of the 20th century, just go for it, no one cares and if they do, they're ignoramuses.

Oh and Pale Fire is the shit.

>>12007211
>people thinking that reading one of the most iconic English-written novels of all time makes them looks weird
just fuck off

>>12007211
Libgen.

>>12007736
Oh shit
Hahahaha
What have you been doing anon

>>12007211

By not being a pedo

are there any books like Lolita that focus more on the current period in time and how to groom little girls in your family and how to get them not to tell anyone in the digital age

>>12007509
That's bullshit though, you can do a whole lot to change how people perceive you, it's one of the basic skills for a public person.

>>12009343
yes hello it was this post mister fbi

>>12007211
Grab a bunch of other books, preferably some of Nabokovs books so it doesn't look make you look like a pedofile, but like someone who likes the writer instead.

The book doesn't have as big a stigma around it as you think it does. 3 types of people are going to recognize it
1. Lit kids who've already read it and are judging you for not having read it yet
2. Trendy art girls who listen to Lana del Rey and think that HH was a sympathetic character
3. Weeaboos who will tell you that their favorite loli is [insert loli here]

you're mixing up having the ability to change one's view and having the ability to influence one's view. depending on the situation you can do a lot to influence their perception of you, but ultimately it's their conscious or unconscious mind that molds their perception of you.

>>12007211
How come Lolita gets so much good cover art?

>>12009343
Jacques Lacan

>>12007736

>>12007211

>>12009952
because it's a top 10 novel of all time also you know why

>>12007736

>>12007536
but the sexiest part of the book was when charlotte was alive

>>12007736

>>12007736

>>12007736
Then why would you say it’s your high school ‘math class’.

>>12008660

>nobody tries to know the name of the book a nameless person sitting on a bench is reading.
thats not true i always try to see what people around me are reading, id guess more /lit/izens are the same

I bought my copy used with a copy of an abridged Summa.
The clerk asked me why I had an interest in that, and I just assumed he meant Summa, so I said I've heard Aquinas a lot by reputation but never actually read anything by him.
I still wonder if he meant Lolita and thinks that I purposefully dodged the question.

>>12007736
kek

Once when driving my dad to someplace he pointed at a bus stop with about 5 women in their 20s stood waiting in low cut dresses, out to a bar or something, and he said, "look at all those Lolitas".
I said that he was about a decade off the mark and he told me to concentrate on the road.

crossdress as a female when you're at the bookstore. no one will question it but yourself.

>>12007736
Old joke but still kekked

>>12007211
nobody fucking cares

>>12007736
lmao i'm dying bros

>>12007736
Then why did you say you were the residential autist in your grade?

>>12012888
I just hijacked that post for the (You)s.

>>12009650
>>12007509
damn this is a dumb response. I can almost see where you are trying to get here, but you failed miserably. Nice cat tho

The only way is to download the torrent if you buy it enjoy being on a list

>>12007211
buy two other books, put lolita between them, go to the cashier and plop them down and tell her "I'll buy these" and take out your phone. Point at the top book and the bottom book, but no at lolita. If she has any questions just don't look up and tell her to do it and give her your credit card. Don't look at the bill.

>>12007211

I actually used to have 2 copies with that exact cover (amazon made a mistake). I gave one to a female classmate who was into lit as well. She thought the cover was "really pretty" and just thanked me. Nothing creepy or weird about the exchange afaik.

>>12007736

>>12012967
>he thinks the fbi doesnt know what loli literature he pirates

I own this copy so nobody gets any funny ideas

My copy of Ada has a lewd picture of a woman on it but nobody cares about that book so there is no risk.

>>12007211
if a shop offers it, they have absolutely no right to criticize people when they actually buy it. and they dont. just buy the damn book.

>>12012945
>dumb response
how?
>i can almost see where you were trying to go, but you failed miserably
where was i trying to go, and why didnt i get there?

>>12013812
Clothing stores sell panties but if a sweaty neckbeard buys them the cashier is going to judge. Same thing here.

>>12013797
>caring what other humans think about you this much

the species you're part of masturbates on public transit at every hour.

What the fuck is wrong with you people? Lolita was ranked number 4 on the Modern Library's list of the 100 best novels. It's one of the normiest books ever.

This board really is saturated by toxic narcissists. No one gives a shit about you reading that extremely popular book.

>>12013828
Most people here are joking, anon

>>12007211
Self check out?

>>12007736

>>12008411
not weird at all

im from a shitty slav 3rd world country and we had lolita in high school and it was discussed for 3 days which is 2 more than much better classics for some reason,nobody thinks youre a pedo if you read it
