I read Dune at 11 and it opened the gates for me and made me read more and more ,that's why it's my favorite. I read the fucking Ilias in old high German THAT WASN'T FUN! Wilde was DeSade was Bronte was.

and another thing, if someone accuses you of being a pedophile because youre reading lolita, claiming that you arent a pedophile is the exact wrong thing to do. trust me, I know my shit
one time I was reading it in public and the girl that sits next to me (this is uni) she sees me reading it and asks if im a pedophile. in this situation, you dont say yes or no, you just disparage pedos while simultaneously dodging the question. I said "that's a hell of a thing to accuse someone of" and she immediately falls over herself saying that she was just joking. never ever say "im not a pedophile" because no one says that. only pedos say that.

i read an unofficial translation of kizu and the prose was absolute trash, if i hadn't been dying to read it after recently watching the anime and waiting for the movies to release i would have been utterly uninterested in it. the only reason i kept reading was because i wanted to learn more about the backstory
is it any better with a decent translation? should i read it again if there's an official one?

Trust me, it’s the comfiest of reads. I will say that there is a lot of layers and changing of perspective within the narrative. For instance, a character telling a story might feature characters that tell their own stories, and those stories have characters that tell their own stories and so on. It’s a very layered book, but it’s length is explained in the very title of the book. It’s literally a thousand and one stories interwoven quite beautifully together. I highly recommend it.

It's not necessarily quotes from other authors, it's more like Burton's musings on other authors. He has anecdotes from basically the entire Western canon throughout. It's honestly hard to explain what's so good about it. Obviously the medical knowledge is seriously outdated and most of it is flat out wrong, but in an amusing kind of way. It can even get kind of boring and repetitive at times. But the writing ties it all together, mostly because of how unique and lucid his writing style is. It's witty and even laugh-out-loud funny at times. Other than that, I think Burton just hits on some things perfectly, and his opinionated views on life, ethics, mental afflictions, etc. truly stand the test of time. It's nice to see how depression is an age-old phenomenon (even though "melancholy" as he uses it is a much broader term) and how people, like Burton, have struggled and dealt with it. It's a pretty comfy read. It's a long book, but if you're interested I'd suggest reading the intro bit, "Democritus Junior to the Reader" to get a good taste for what it'll be like. As he says,
>If you like not my writing, go read something else.
and
>What a glut of books! Who can read them? As already, we shall have a vast Chaos and confusion of Books, we are oppressed with them, our eyes ache with reading, our fingers with turning. For my part I am one of the number—one of the many—I do not deny it...

Haven't read it, and am gay so not into little girls, but I've seen that excerpt about how "Lolita" rolls off the tongue, and her name is "Delores" on the dotted line, or whatever, and I thought it was a beautifully well crafted sentence. Very poetic, good flow.

You are a cross-eyed, pot-bellied, city-slicking, bug-man of whom when afforded all the comforts and technologies of the 21st century you still never can replace the hole your father made when he left you and your mother when you were still young and innocent enough to mistake the names of colours. Given the predicaments of your surroundings, your weak will gave in to the shysters of racial conspiracy enough for your shuttered ego to clutch onto the based notion of skin-deep supremacy, that as you rot in your filthy little middle-working class shack you tell yourself again and again, that yes, despite all your failings as a man, you ghastly still remain a member of the master race. Hitler had only one ball you silly little faggot.
