Pale Fire
Thanks, anything else? Just all of Nabokov's books? I certainly would like to get around to it. I started reading Bend Sinister however and was pretty disappointed.
La Confirmacion
The Ice Palace

Is it weirder to fuck a 16 year old girl or a 16 year old boy
For another beautiful prose look into perversion and 1950's suburbia, I recommend Rabbit Run by John Updike,or maybe Babbitt by Sinclair Lewis
Considering you're a male, the boy.
That cover goes against nabokov’s explicit rule not to have a girl pictured
Agree. It's literally a movie tie-in.
Should I read Ada or Pale Fire? Picked them both up the other day

I bought Pale Fire but couldn't get through the poem. Will read later.
I'm saying if it's hetero girl with boy sex
Like I've never really felt the weight of it until I discovered my friend's obsession with lolis and it fuckin hurts like ok 18 is "just a number" so what determines sexual maturity? What's moral in this regard? When is a person granted sexual autonomy exactly?
Don't do it.
Our government tells us 18
Tell me the phenomenological insight--people are obsessed with preserving their inner child and yes Kinsey was a fuck but that doesn't make it a bad research topic
Don't do it.
Its well to protect our children, but when do they stop being children? Consider the cultural quirk of the US that celebrates children so obsessively (shitty school dances prom absolutely tepid birthday partys) or one might say neurotically (though everyone's neurotic so that words kind of null). What happened to laughter and worship upon the blood of animals?
All these "adults' that given up on themselves but instead projected this insecurity onto their children that they simultaneously protect in order to provide decent morals but following the rules giving laws, making things easier, teachings all held in common compel people to solitude and solitude makes them vehement and hostile.
There's nothing weird about fucking a 16 year old girl. Have you seen the racks on these creatures? Not sure why they're not legal, but they're certainly natural.

Monogatari series
Everything I've read of Nabokov so far has his particular charm, even the nonfiction. Speaking of which, I liked Speak, Memory and Strong Opinions. Two sophisticated old men's rivalry over a young girl is a familiar theme, but I can't recall where else I've seen it.

Pale Fire 100%, it’s a phenomenal book. Prose as good as Lolita, but with an absolutely brilliant structure to it, and a more subtly unreliable narrator, which makes piecing together the story even more exciting and subjective. Easily his best book.
The poem is worth reading, but if you’re not getting much out of it you can skip it and come back to it as you read the rest of the novel. It’s discussed by the narrator section by section, so you can just jump back and read a bit at a time as you go. Understanding the poem fully is not necessary for a first time reading of the book.
