Good post m8

OP, in all honesty, I highly recommend "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

It's in a very different style from that of Lolita, but it's amongthe greatest books of all time. I would go with this one next if I were you.

I also think that Shakespeare's plays, Tolstoy's novels and short stories and Chekhov's short stories are all great. But seriously, go for One Hundred Years as your next read, I really think you wont regret it.

The authorship of blacks is one of pathological obsession with whiteness. Whites can write fiction about quite literally anything -- space travel, fantasy, historically accurate dramas; they are free spirits and the only limitations are that of their own minds. Blacks can write about such topics too, but with this they seem only able to write fiction pertaining to their perceived position relative to whites in real life. Every story must have an underlying message of so called "oppression" [by whites], so called "racism" [by whites], economic hardships [caused by systemic discrimination; systems crafted by whites]. The reason for this is that blacks (in America) have defined their entire existence by one tragic injustice: slavery. They insist that this slavery has continued, but shifted forms into virulent discrimination. When you define your life such that your mindset is still in a state of master-slave dynamics, you see every action you take relative to your master: "What would master think of this?", "If only master treated me better", "I need to write more about the evil nature of master" -- if they wrote about anything else, to them it would seem like a wasted breath. Worryingly enough, it seems to be a global trend for blacks to define themselves by the injustices done to them. Even in Africa, many excuses for catastrophic failure include colonialism. I wish that blacks would shake off the chains of their victim complex and become free spirits who write unique stories, but until then...

Everything blacks do is about whites. Everything. They can do physics and somehow tie it back to slavery.

They're a race with a mental disease.

I understand these feels. I first read Lolita like two weeks ago and was absolutely blown away.

I also cried like a little bitch when I reread the prologue and realised that Dolores did not have a happy ending as I was wishing her to have.

You should read Blood Meridian next if you are an American. Blood Meridian and Moby Dick are THE American books. It’s a hard read, but if you liked Lolita as much as you did you will definitely enjoy these

That book is trash. You'd realize this if you had any literary taste whatsoever. Someday though, someday.

>>12615648
This. It was my favorite book at 17. At 21 I realize that it's a joke of a book.

This. If you're past 20 and don't think Nabokov was a fake hack who sat writing with the dictionary open trying to include as many cool and weird words as possible then you're never gonna make it.

Throw out that garbage and say hello to 21st century literary genius

>a race with a mental disease
Well, duh. How would one erase the collective memory of their own social identity?

>>12616121
Eh

>>12616390
JUDE

>>12615674
The opposite is closer to the truth, if you don't recognize Nabokov as a top 5 prose stylist in 20th century English, you're not gonna make it.

Thank you for justifying me having those books in "Never Read Those" list

Disgusting burgers

If you liked Nabokov's prose, try "Bend, Sinister" also by him
