Absolutely. Of course you shouldn’t say it’s a book about a pedo but rather dwell on the genius of the writing and the unreliable narrator, the beauty of the prose and the perverted psyche underlying in each of us. As much as I like this book it is mostly soulless and it is meat for an easy endless analysis which means that women will fell that you are intelligent, well-read and know what you are talking about. I talk about it almost every time and I want to sleep with a girl who has a slight interest in any form of art and it mostly works. However you should know that no girl will ever talk to you about it from her own volition and that you should seem intelligent when you’re talking about something else. Don’t hesitate to talk about how degenerate yet how exciting Lolita is.

I’m tired and it’s late so I won’t pour out too much but I guess that in the end Lolita (and all others Nabokov’s books I read) can be dissected like a dead corpse and after a long time you’ll know everything about it. If you take a book “with soul” (for instance Hyperion, Salemmbo or Ulysses) you can dissect it a lot but you’ll always miss the most important thing in it, that is the part that talks directly to the soul. Poetry is also a good example: Corbière is mostly “soulless”, while Dickinson is “with soul”. I don’t know if I’m being very clear

I read this one summer while I was lifeguarding (during my breaks).

Women are deeply profoundly extremely insecure. Like you call a guy fat, nothing happens. You call a woman fat in front of another woman, and you can literally see the terror and anger at the possibility that they might not be desirable.
Lolita does that. Liking it outs the patent truth that a young girl is more sexually valuable than a roastie.

Pity the Roastie, for she is damned.

Ha - like I said, I wasn’t literally reading while I was on the stand/guarding lives. I was just minding my own business at the break table and was approached. It was a pretty comfy summer read though, I didn’t really think about the implications of being seen reading it. I was also pretty stoned most of the time. Good times

It all depends on context. If its one of the few novels you've ever read, it might be a little dodgy. But Lolita is pretty much required reading among those who are well read, and you'd look like a pleb if you were unfamiliar with it because pedos icky.

Yeah, that's what I'm seemingly unable to do. I can't float to save my life, man.
That said, I started swimming lessons like a month ago. Though I didn't went last week.
I think I got a little discouraged but maybe is too little time to expecting for results, isn't so? Anyway, I think I'm gonna go tomorrow, even if it's cold.

Hmm. I used to give lessons to kids but I’ve never done it for an adult. It takes some motion for sure (I don’t know your body type / athletic level) but just about anyone can do it. Don’t get discouraged, don’t be embarrassed. If you want it, go for it. Accept failure as part of the process. Listen to your teacher/coach and soon enough it’ll be as easy as breathing in and out
