/lit/ - Literature

Hey /lit/, I read Lolita when I was 14, and while I liked it well enough (my favorite part was H. H.'s journal that Charlotte then discovers), I didn't have the maturity to really enjoy it. I'm rereading now almost 15 years later, and it's even better than I remembered it. For a writer that was so critical of Freud, I find H. H. and Lolita to fit textbook symptoms of incestuous aggressor and victim to a T. Not to mention how hilarious Humbert's self-pity is. I had to crack up when Humbert complained about the little patience Lolita had for other people's hobbies, e.g. getting handjobs in a parked car while ogling schoolgirls getting back home.

I've missed all the /lit/ Lolita discussions, so, have you read it? What did you think of it, and did anything strike you as particularly hilarious?
