if you're talking about nabokov so consistently that this is a real problem in your life, you should consider reading somebody else. and if you read lolita in such a way that you can't articulately respond to "that's kinky" or weird looks, maybe you should read somehow else

what qualities do you see in nabokov that you're looking for in a recommendation?

>>9269671
Only those people, who have not read this book, react in such a way.
Don't mind them.

It is kinda like when you were in high school and your friend organized you a blind date and said that maaaan, she is super hot

and then you come there and you are just like meh

Describe Lolita as a case study on obsessive behavior that just so happens to chronicle a pedophile. We all know you were in it for the pedophilia, so were the rest of us, but normies don't like to hear that.

Well you need an exceptional grasp of traditional Chinese so it'd be out of reach for your average westerner

Voltaire's "Micromégas"

Yeah you can try Maupassan or Voltairet. If you rather stick to 20th century, I love Marcel Aymé, try the short stories collected in "the passer-through-walls", they're slightly fantastic and weird but with a very pure prose and a realistic background.

get horny and write whilst fapping

Go to MLP and look at the fat threads which are full of such stories.

OR

Look at the lit archives from 5 years ago and look up the blueberry prompts

Get drunk then write about what you wanna do to a fat fuck, then edit in characters and plot.
Being drunk is the most important part.

It can't be done. Is this thread an allegory for the book itself?

I don't think...

Why don't you make your own mind up, then?

I said I liked him, but I also haven't read all that much. Just curious to hear other, more well read, people's opinions of him.

I think most people would say he's an influential/significant figure in the development of post-war American culture and literature but doesn't stand all that well on his own.

He's good, but if you could only take one book to an island, it probably shouldn't be one of his. Some would say his work is more of a zeitgeist thing rather than "great" work.

>riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.

What does this mean?

The second sentence is even more difficult to parse:

>Sir Tristram, violer d'amores, fr'over the short sea, had passencore rearrived from North Armorica on this side the scraggy isthmus of Europe Minor to wielderfight his penisolate war: nor had topsawyer's rocks by the stream Oconee exaggerated themselse to Laurens County's gorgios while they went doublin their mumper all the time: nor avoice from afire bellowsed mishe mishe to tauftauf thuartpeatrick: not yet, though venissoon after, had a kidscad buttended a bland old isaac: not yet, though all's fair in vanessy, were sosie sesthers wroth with twone nathandjoe.

It's hard for me to get into a book if I can't even get past a sentence.

Nothing suspicious about this post.

Also the answer is no, because the only serial killers whose methods we know the details of are ones who got caught, therefore they're not effective.

Give it another four months and you'll be able to read all about it in the FBI's 'leaked' reports.

How is avoiding World War Three and stoping the unbridled flow of agricultural and sanitation slaves into the american labour market treason? Is it because he's a fucking white male?
