How do I acquire a physical copy of Lolita without people thinking I’m a pedophile? I’m interested in the prose and style of the work, not children.

No one's going to think you're a pedo for reading Lolita, you retard. It's classic literature, and people expect people to buy the books stocked in the fucking book store. If you're so scared buy it on amazon.

I could have bought it on Amazon but I purposely went and bought it in Barnes and Noble just to see the reaction.
Nothing happened

We don't use the word "nigga" around here because we know it's a derogatory term for african americans.

Stupid nigger.

I bought it alongside the coming of Conan. The clerk just talked about how awesome and manly the series was, and while he was checking in lolita he just make his eyebrow high and keep talking good things about Robert e. Howard.

Dodged a bullet by putting Conan first.
