Currently Reading: Lolita by Vladmir Nabokov
For about the fifth time.
The reason being is that it is my favorite book of all time. It has a bad reputation, as people like to deem it full of incest and child exploitation, and what have you, which it is. But the beauty in the book is trying to dechipher why exactly the protagonist has such a longing for 7-10 year olds. It's unbelievably psychological, if you didn't figure that out for yourself already, and it's a classic. All of Nabokov's novels deal with similar comtroversial topics, and they are all amazing. He is a Russian author (again, if you didn't figure that out already.), so yes the books are translated, but they are very well done. The writing is amazing, the subject matter is intriguing, and all in all, Nabokov is my favorite author of all time.
