I bought this book about 2 years ago, read 20 pages, hated it, stopped reading. I picked it up again this week since I have NOTHING I want to read, and I'm enjoying it a lot. The strength of the prose and humour (I hope it's meant to be funny), is where the novel shines. I'm only about 100 pages through, but I'm enjoying it.

Little Haze and Big Haze...lol. What is this guy's problem?

Asskisser.

anyways...
I actually had an interesting debate with someone on this board recently about that book. I was looking at it like the author was trying to portray a sort of moral grayness, and he was saying that Humbert was intended as a very subtle monster. He argued so eloquently that I ended up agreeing with him, mostly

What are your feelings so far, OP? What do you think the book is trying to say?

I have no idea what the author is trying to say yet. I'm just enjoying the book.

HYPOTHETICAL:

Nabokov releases Lolita, and nothing is different except Humbert is never arrested. Is it still a classic, or does it go too far?
