How I did it: I checked it out from the library and shut myself in my room whenever I could for a few days.
I read this book when I was 16. (21 now) I had already been meaning to do it for years because I had heard it whispered about here and there as a kid and I was curious. The tipping point was when I got into Japanese culture and discovered the fashion known as Lolita. I decided that I had to see just how much the book had to do with the style. Although I had already read that "not much at all" was the answer, I wanted to find out on my own.
Lessons & tips: It's pretty wordy. It's best to read it when you're wide awake, else you may find yourself going cross-eyed and having no recollection of the last eight pages. Don't give up, though! You'll be proud when you can say you've read it.

Ok, I just bought my copy of Lolita from a used book store for 6.95. I’ve read the first few pages and I can already tell this book is going to take me awhile. I really want to understand it so I’m going to take it slow.
I have heard so much about htis book. I feel like I owe it to the world because I have had so many convetrsations about it!

i HATED this book with a passion!!!
what a sicko!
I can’t believe this book is so popular and gets such good reviews when it is about a nasty old man trying to justify his love for little girls.
disgusting.
Did tend to get a bit tedious in the middle perhaps because I have about 5 other books to read). And a little confusing at times, but yeah worth doing I think.
and yeah the language is good but I find myself doing the annoying thing of missing out paragraphs of description (which i always do if i find something getting a little tideous) and I don’t really care much for the characters, but i suppose its one of those books everyones got to read.
I read this while on vacation. It was a very difficult read because for some reason I didn’t realize what happened to Lolita or why she just suddenly disappeared; I had to look it up later just to understand what happened, I guess I missed an important part. I’m really glad I read it though, I can relate to it a lot (not the pedophilia but the unrequited love)

I keep picking this book up whenever I see it at the book store, stare at the cover, and then end up putting it back and buying something else. So, as I’ve been wanting to read this for some time now, I’m going to stop procrastinating and realize this goal by, hopefully, this weekend. The rest of my line-up can wait.
I really liked it.. the subject was different.. the story not too boring.. soaked in a passionate self-suffering trop familier.. the beautifully chiselled language was sprinkled with playful choices of adjectives.. and for that it became one of few books I will want to reread some day
