Lolita

This is quite possibly one of the most incredible books I have ever read. Yes, it's revolting and creepy and very disturbing, but Nabokov's writing is absolutely magical and I don't think I've ever read anything nearly as well-written as this. I wanted to hate this from the beginning when I learned what this was about and I really tried to. Don't get me wrong, I have no sympathy for Humbert Humbert at all, but I loved the experience of reading this novel. This was such an incredible piece of writing that deserves the highest appreciation. I'm not giving it 5 stars because of the topic, I'm giving it 5 stars because this is quite possibly the most beautifully written and insanely gorgeous masterpiece of literature I've experienced in my life so far. I'm just blown away by Nabokov and his mastery of this language that isn't even his native one.
