Lolita isn't even his best book. Ada is. Pale Fire is also better.

>>14272080
if you have not read Pale Fire you are nothing

>>14272060
Still one of my favorites although bc of the meme I can't tell people. I like how it covers with bleak irony something depraved from the rationalizing perspective of the perpetrator, and having desired other people in that way (not people much younger or older mind you) I feel like I can relate to it and learn more from it.

Same with Death in Venice, although I like that one even more maybe.

Pale Fire was interesting but idk how much I got out of it.

Haze is Dutch/Belgian apparently which probably matters more as its her surname

I always say that this is my favourite novel. Never been judged. Or at least people had the decency to keep it to themselves.

Why women love this book?
Or Sade? I will never understand it

>>14272060

>>14273720
women all fantasize about being raped, and i dont know what Sade is

>>14274222
He's talking about Marquis de Sade
Do women really like that in a ny great capacity, though?

Real answer: someone who was molested as a child or young adolescent and was never able to "get over it." They don't like it because it depicts pedophilia, but because the book is a scathing condemnation of the perverted thought process that leads to the sexual objectification and abuse of children. Some people don't see this because they only read the book at a surface level and don't realize that Humbert is an unreliable narrator and is meant to make you feel disgusted.

Either a pedo or a girl with daddy issues/got molested.

Sade was a major influence on mid-twentieth century French existentialism because of Beauvoir and Sartre. People read him today largely because he is an influence on them. They had all these reasons explaining why they were into it, but the real reason was that they were chomos who famously "shared" schoolgirls Beauvoir groomed in her classes before she was forced out of her job as schoolteacher for it. Sade wasn't a fantasist. Certainly some of it was his sick fantasy, but he actually did a lot of that awful stuff. Sartre and Beauvoir had were grooming and abusing schoolgirls, and later in life their newspaper led the charge when French intellectuals were petitioning against the age of consent on behalf of some men who had fucked young teens. Later on, there were other petitions with the same goal of age of consent abolition on behalf of a grown man who lived with a harem of prepubescent girls. Their newspaper led the charge on that, too, even when previous petitioners who were okay with abusing teens but not prepubescents checked out. You do the math, dude...

Marquis de Sade was literally a demon, possibly summoned during some aristocratic ritual, and Sartre, de Beauvoir, etc were satanist larpers who naturally were big fans of de Sade.

If you weren't crying with laughter then you didn't get enough out of it. Same goes for Lolita tho

>>14274646
