I will second Lolita.
Certainly if you don't feel that you are mature enough to handle it or if it offends your delicate sensibilities, you are welcome to skip it.

Such a forthright defense of
Lolita deserves a third and that I now provide.

I also years ago started reading
Heart of Darkness, but for some reason at the time I put it aside and never picked it up again. I will use my final vote to provide the third nomination for this.
