I read Lolita last month and it was among the best books I read last year or any year. However, it had no romance. I can think of no aspect of the book that could fall into any romance category. I highly recommend the book when we are choosing classics or literary fiction. Its literary allusions make it a joy for those of us who like that sort of thing.
I really hope that it won't win in the romance category. The very thought turns my stomach.
