'But that mimosa grove--the haze of stars, the tingle, the flame, the honey-dew, and the ache remained with me, and that little girl with her seaside limbs and ardent tongue haunted me ever since--until at last, twenty-four years later, I broke her spell by incarnating her in another."
-Nabokov

I have to read Lolita...I've been meaning to for a while.
the quote is interesting. make me curious about the book. hmmm
Another book I have on the longest-list-of-books-that-I-want-to-read! I heard this one is very salacious, my type of book! ;)
hows the book ?
great quote and great book... i may have to read it again, it has been awhile
Very Salacious, vanessa. Get your hands on it!!! ;) You too Sarah & fhen- once you've settled with your move of course.
in college i wrote a paper on it because as you know it was on the banned books list. It's forever been one of my favorites.
M- have you ever seen the movie with Dominique Squain and Jeremy Irons? i thought they picked the perfect characters...
Ani, i've read it before but like Marisa, it's been awhile... perhaps I should pick it up soon.
m - i haven't.. i will have to get it for movie night
"seaside limbs" -- i love that. lolita is amazing. and the covers of those books are gorgeous!
