Nabokov
I would say Lolita but that would unleash the hounds, but lets say Pnin, it's like a borescope into the inner most thoughts of the poor man's mind.

You're a borescope.

I've got a UK 1st edition of Lolita
yet to read it though! (probably due to hound unleashment worries!)

I saw it once in a bookshop, just the cover,
and had to cut off my cock in case I became a massive paedo just from seeing the title.

Anyone around here who admits to
glancing at an internet picture of a pigtailed 24 year old slapper in a plaid skirt is automatically declared to be some sort of super-nonce, and rightly so, the paedo perverts.

So I won't say that Lolita was a good book either because of course I haven't read it.

Stupid borescope jokes aside
You're all idiots if you refuse to read a book because of what other people might say.

Actually
Lolita is a really good novel, even the Forty Lashes,Indiana Public Library expurgated edition reads well.

You disgust me, you nonce.

while going through a 'being all cultured' phase,
a friend of mine read lolita on a train journey.
at one station, the doors opened and his carriage filled with schoolchildren
he admitted to feeling somewhat uncomfortable

he admitted to
feeling somewhat uncomfortable wanking furiously yet surreptitiously.

The big print version pays dividends, here.

Strange.
I've been reading Lovecraft, yet not once have I been accused of attempting to summon Cthulhu.

Lolita has some beautiful writing in it
...and I'm not just talking about page 61.

But I felt that it weakened as it went on. I was going to say "became a little flaccid after the first half", but I won't.

I considered naming one of my daughters Lolita, cos it's a beautiful name that deserves to be reclaimed. But in the end I didn't - I'm not sure if that's cowardice or child protection!
