I've finally gotten around go reading 'Lolita.'

Two things that I've found surprising (in a good way) about it: Nabokov goes out of his way to show that Humbert is an asshole in pretty much all things. He's a miserable, pretentious twat -- morbidly fascinating, but completely unsympathetic, the sort of man you yearn to punch. Second: it's made so obvious that this thing he's doing is horrific and fucked up, and that Dolores is decidedly not having a good time. I'd gotten the impression from a lot of things I've heard that I was going to have to gird myself against it reading like a justification of Humbert's actions, but it really, really doesn't. Even Humbert himself knows it's not right, despite his moments of braying about "society" and "nymphets." He's a contemptible human being, teetering over the edge of self-awareness and, in his derangement, desperately trying to hold himself back from it.

Yup. I would wager most people who get their panties in a twist about Lolita haven't read it. And the rest have the reading comprehension of a 6th grader.
