That tattoo is meaningless, generic and trashy. It you're going to get a tattoo, get one that means something. Also you are a fatass, I remember your thread from /r9k/.

I stopped reading it when Mike started up that free love commune bullshit. Pic related.

It's always slutty looking girls that do this. Shows that they have no consideration of others. Worst generation ever.

This is the worst fucking board on 4chan. Full of pseudo fags discussing the same 5 shitty books.

At least it's easier to spot highschool students and hipsters on /sci/.

That's you projecting your own beliefs onto the narrative there. Nabokov really left it to the reader to pass judgement (it's actually written as plea to the court). Old Nabo wanted us to feel conflicted - on the one hand it's a beautiful love story; on the other it's an obsessive old man manipulating a young girl. You can also imagine HH as the victim and Lolita as the manipulator...

Oh jolly good I'm reading Lolita again and wanted to discuss it.

Personally I don't really like his prose that much, it's pretentious and needlessly verbose. There's a reason so many people only get half way through the mother. The power and the beauty of the book lies in what he's actually saying. He explains the whole older man-preteen love thing in a way I haven't heard anywhere else, fiction or non fiction. I found the book hard to get through frankly, but part one is pure gold. Even a non little-girl-lover can understand where we come from after reading those 150 odd pages - that's some powerful shit. I don't know if Nabokov partook himself, but it's hard to imagine he didn't - everything he says touches on truths only revealed to those who were "there".

Try to write something good?

>my face when people have graduated highschool and still use how many pages they have written as an indicator of how close to completion they are of a fucking paper

Get high on DXM.

Claiming you enjoyed that book is pretty much the only way you can express even a remotely positive opinion of little girl love in this day and age.

Lolita is to pedos as Atlas Shrugged is to libertarians.

OP, you're retarded.

Hijacked by right wing nut-jobs no doubt.

inb4 during and after science majors don't shut up about Wittgenstein.

Load up on ritalin. It's the ONLY WAY.

Now you know for next time.

Fucking books.

Most of my others are packed away in boxes.

Decent collection. Some pretty influential books, and a nice amount of second hand goodness.

Busses to woodridge from there all the time bro.

Just do it, Sunnybank at night is heaps worse than Woodridge at night, and Woodridge is pretty funny during the day, with all the white trash, africans, abos and islanders to entertain you with their antics.

Go to low income areas (woodridge) for verdant op shopping and very cheap prices. I recently picked up Henry VIII, Great Expectations, and some 70s sci-fi pulp novels all for $1.

The best place is the Woodridge flea market. If a book is over $1, you're getting ripped of. I think I picked up pretty much every Stephen King novel from there over the years. Since everyone there is poor, you will find alot of popular novels.

I think it's on sunday moring now, at Woodridge Plaza or whatever they call it, in the carpark. Make sure to haggle.

I liked that OP.
