I have just started "Lolita". Thought it was about time I found out what the fuss was about. I am a College Librarian, and just before Half Term a member of staff loaned this to read over the holiday - and said she was surprised that we stocked such a book! This struck me as rather reactionary!
I will admit that, by and large, my reading tastes leave something to be desired - mostly cozy murder mysteries! I am making a concerted effort now to read more classics and literature - something I have allowed to slip since I was younger (when I would quite happily read Hardy or Tolstoy).
