Nabokov

Lolita (1955) is a novel by Vladimir, first written in English and published in 1955 in Paris. The book is both internationally famous for its innovative style and infamous for its controversial subject: the narrator and protagonist, Humbert Humbert, becomes obsessed with a 12-year-old girl named Dolores Haze (aka Lolita.)

We are currently about a fourth of the way into this novel, Lolita, in my American Lit. class. It seemed fairly interesting (and creepy) so last night my friend Shannon and I rented the movie from the JCK Library (1962 version) - between the b&w and the terrible acting we soon ventured out to Blockbuster to rent the 1997 version which was MUCH better. And as an added bonus had the girl from Working Girl in it - (Melanie Griffith) This version also seems to be a much closer match to the book.

I was also made to watch the movie Twilight last night with Shannon and Sam I laughed the practically the entire time. I don't think I should be allowed to watch it with an actual fan. :P
