It is also interesting to see how this book is viewed: some put it in historical context, others describe how Nabokov uses his tools/words, and again others refer to other classics or speak from their morals.  |

First thanks all for the overly effusive complements to my previous post.!
I'd say that the discussion so far is the sign that the choice was excellent for reading and discussion. Hopefully with more to come. A true exceptional literary work, and not just for perverts.
Here is another thought that occurred to me that I wonder if anyone else feels the same way. To me the scene where Humbert murders Quilty stuck out like a sore thumb relative to the rest of the book. It was just so absurdly comic. Larry murders Moe; Curly was not in the scene. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk. What do there rest of you think?
