What I'm reading now.

I'm currently reading Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. I came across this book as one of my lecturers had mentioned the idea of 'Lolita' and I was quite clueless on the concept or story behind this title. The story is quite scandalous but extremely well written.

Title:
Lolita

Author:
Vladimir Nabokov


Blurb:
Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita is a dark and daring story of obsessive love and transgression. Humbert Humbert's lust for his pubescent step daughter, Lolita shocked readers when it was first published in the 1950's; yet the novel was also celebrated for its beautifully lyrical writing. Almost fifty years after it's first publication, Lolita remains a powerful tale of perversion and love gone wrong.
