I just started reading Lolita yesterday.
"She would try to releive the pain of love by first roughly rubbing her dry lips against mine: then my darling would draw away with a nervous toss of her hair, and then again come darkly near and let me feed on her open mouth, while with a generosity that was ready to offer her everything, my heart, my throat, my entrails, I gave her to hold in her awkward fist the scepter of my passion."
Hah!
"Scepter"
This is going to be fantastic.

when I first heard about Lolita, I was 15/16 and that version of the movie with Jeremy Irons and Dominique Swain had come on Showtime...I liked that..and being a young girl myself, it turned me on at the thought...
I actually didn't see the Stanley Kubrick version until after I'd read Lolita when I was 18/19
everyone says the kubrick version is better...and though in many ways it is...I was never attracted to James Mason like I was to Jeremy Irons. haha
anyway..the book is great..I've read it twice.
