Currently reading Lolita.. and what shall I say.. am simply BLOWN AWAY by Vladimir's way of expressing the innermost feelings in the most exquisite way.. No movie can truly do justice to this book! Noone can express emotions the way vladimir's character Humbert does!

Not to mention his fantastic Vocabulary..

Lolita is truly a masterpiece.. something beyond "Just a story about a perverted pedophile"

Easily one of the best books to be ever written!

Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf.. the "Stream of consciousness" style is simply AMAZING.. Though the story is a bit of a drag, u feel like u "KNOW" each character truly since you get a peek into what goes on in their heads

Its like MIND READING every character

I recommend it to all classic lovers.. Virginia Woolf at her best in Mrs. Dalloway:)

Thinking of starting "The Great Gatsby".. Actually I wanna finish reading it before the movie is out so I can watch it (Which i soo badly want to) and appreciate/criticize it with a renewed zest and vigor..

Anyways... the book is a small one.. a little over 100 pages...
Anyone who's already read??

I started reading Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov.. thought it was a bad choice.. but can't seem to keep the book down..

Hi, my name is Swathi. I'm from Tamil Nadu, India. I read anything under the sun, truly esoteric taste!! I have started reading classics (I know its a bit too late).
My recent book was Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and I absolutely loved it.
Now reading Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov.. pretty fast and interesting book
