Assuming all erudite people had read Valdimir Nabokov’s Lolita, ingres77 bought it while he was in high school and it sat, unread, on his bookshelf for 20 years, until he found Jamie Loftus’ Lolita Podcast. “I don’t know that I could’ve read this book without listening to Loftus’s podcast, and...I don’t think I would’ve been as well-equipped to keep my focus on what Nabokov is saying here amidst the lurid and languorous descriptions of pedophilic adoration.”
