How do I get the confidence to read Lo-lee-ta in public?

Huh!..I actually got laid twice thanks to reading it in public and I'm autistic and barely a 6 . Depends on where you are, I'm from Morocco. We have lot of girls with daddy issues who live to disappoint their fathers.

You'll probably have girls talking to you for the first time if you read it in public.

This is the cover of my lolita book. Read it on the bus, got thrown off it and called a nonce.

I once posted my current reading on my IG and had Lolita on it. This qt art girl I follow chatted me up and tried to talk about Nabokov. If it wasn’t for the fact that I hate chatting with people I probably could have pulled something

You must be fucking joking. How is this a thing. This is literally the worst option they could have picked - a normal pose or an older body would have both made this acceptable but this is genuinely just awful. What retard approved this?

I felt the girl was too old to have the emotional impact and hatred for the MC as my imagination produced for the book
Like in the movie she looked 15, not 11

a middle-aged woman talked to me in a cafe because I was reading In Search of Lost Time
she didn’t read it, but “felt” it was a good book; we talked about art and psychology for a good half an hour and at one point she completely unexpectedly brought up the subject of sex.
gave me her number too, under a pretense of being a psychologist (or maybe it was really just that)

not in need of neither though

Not true. In the full res >>17123218 it's genuinely awful. That's not even just a "panty shot" either, it's worse than that if you know enough about women's anatomy. If it was any more risque it'd probably be banned by the govenrment.

Well, I'll explain it to you - it's not about the act of drawing or the fact that it is a painting, but rather about what the painting is depicting.

1. I'm freely expressing my cringe.
2. Because it gets people like that other anon harassed and kicked off the bus by people who misunderstand, since it's completely socially inappropriate as a book cover.

Load it into your plain ebook reader.

If someone asks you what you're reading say it's "Reading Lolita in Tehran".

Besides, the second half of Lolita is strongly anti-pedo (the first half only subtly).

the only time someone reading in public is conspicuous, is when theyre clearly self-conscious about it. you can tell through their body language. they try to pose themselves in a certain way. you can always tell. so basically, just be comfy
