Taken for a hitrecord project about books (https://hitrecord.org/records/4383609). One of my favorite novels & rabbit holes. Poe plays hide and seek throughout if the reader is willing to play It.
If you‘d like to listen to me read from it & talk about banned books, please listen to ep 23 of There Might Be Cupcakes Podcast: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/there-might-be-cupcakes-podcas-520320/episode...
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. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita.
so-soI don‘t mind controversial subjects, I like when a book enraged me a little as this one did. Nabokov writes beautifully, the only thing is that the story as whole is a bit boring. Just a long journey with little action. I think I‘m just burnt out on books like this. I‘m ready for some action! 😂
"The miracle I hankered for did happen after all."
Well, that's ridiculously fortuitous.
