I was wondering if anyone if anyone in this community has read Lolita, or seen the movie(the original or the remake)
I read it for the first time when I was 13, and now I'm 18. It's one of my favorite books, and I love the movie remake of it. If Nabovok hadn't written Lolita, there might be no (EG)L movement/lifestlye/fashion/whatever today.
The novel is about a man whose first loved died when she was very young, thus stunting him(Humbert Humbert) emotionally.
Many years later, he is a teacher who is looking for a house to stay at close to where he teaches. One of the houses has a young girl named Lolita that he falls in love with. He marries her mother to be closer to Lolita, yada yada yada. If you haven't read this, I strongly suggest you do. No matter if you're a lolly or not, this is a great book.

While I do believe the literary work was well written, I also find it an abomination, as I have every reason to be against *****. In fact, I'm very against it. My friend Leah, whose age is 16 at the moment, is dating a 31 year old, and I find even that gap to be horrible.
I'll never say it was a bad book. Its just that I find the fact of the older man falling for the really young girl to be disgusting.
Read it if you want to. I'm not saying don't. I'm just voicing my opinion.

I agree. I am not a supporter of child molestation in any way shape or form. Even if I was attracted to people younger than 18, I would never attempt to pursue anything with them. Child porn and Child molestation are ugly and nasty.
However, it's not real. Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies, but I don't agree with murder or drugs, but I know that it's just fiction.

I haven't gotten around to reading the book or watching the movie, though it is on my list of things to do. But I'm home of the summer with my family and even since my dad found out I like EGL he's been on my back so I'm going to have to wait for school to start again.

I saw the remake of the movie last year, was asking my boyfriend what Lolita is and he said its a movie and book. He didn't know it has anything to do with fashion.
I don't remember how some of the parts went, but the story is great. In a way, I don't think it has anything to do with *****, at least the relationship with the main man and the girl. The man is growing old physically, but not mentally. But then again, I wonder if most of the ***** are that way. gonk

Well, I don't know if ***** are mentally/emotionally stunted. Some are...but then, aren't lolitas supposed to be? I mean teen girls and women dressing up as elaborately dressed children/dolls? Though we may not be truly stunted, I suppose we have to act that way.

Child mollestation is bad, but I still think it would be a good read to check out some time.

I read it about a year ago, and I rather enjoyed it. It was well-written, and comedic, if you are awake enough to understand it (half the time I wasn't).

Well, I've read most of the book, but had to return it to the library. I'll have to finish it when I get to borrow it again. It's fairly good so far.

I liked it. I thought it was a sad story though, not because of Dolores, but because of Humbert Humbert and his unrequited love for Dolores, and his unfulfilled love for Annabel.
People often say that there is no link between the novel and Lolita :s But how can there not be a link? Some of the ways he decribes nymphets are almost exactly the Lolita fashion ideal. I'm sure the people who have read the book noticed this.

I've never read the book, much less seen it at libraries or bookstores near where I live (this could be due to the large numbers of ***** living in the area).

I'm sure there was more and I didn't even articulate that well, but it's all I can remember.
