Lolita - Worth the read or just another overrated book?

Shameless selfbump.
I finished it right now. I think it is crap. Yes, maybe it was something special back then but nowadays it is not.

I'm not also a key member of the literati, I'm also a medical doctor. I'm prescribing you a heavy dose of suicide. To be filled out as soon as possible.

hue hue hue. Some critics say it is good, it must be good. Maybe get your own opinion about books and present it or suck it that other people having a real opinion on books because they dont read it because of some fucking magazine.

This thread is in shambles. Read Lolita. End of story. Don't read another post... Look You can either spend your life reading letters assembled to this high caliber: >>3613816
OR you could spend it reading Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. The choice is yours....

The prose is beautiful but I found everything else about it to be boring.

>> No.3614362

just fucking read it. It's a goddam classic and it will twist your mind.

Um. Saying "Chloe", the tongue doesn't touch the teeth.

Maybe you should have altered the text a little more rather than just lazily swapping the names out.

Your girl's probably too dumb to notice how it doesn't work, but still.

Killer prose style. Was it really Humbert's fault?

I thought it was a great book, however I feel the annotated version is necessary.

I thought it was going to be complete shit, but I really ended up liking it. I'd recommend it.

You don't know what the word 'underrated' means, go back to /b/.

>> No.3615791

Hey guys.. I'm half way through and I have a question about it. Does the author ever tell us why he's in love with little girls? I feel like he was unfulfilled in his childhood (that story about meeting that girl in the bushes in the dark)

>> No.3615809

one of the best books ever it doesn't use over-used post modern trickery so /lit/ doesn't like it as much as pynchon or dwf
