    And you borrowed these books from your school’s library?

    To clarify: You borrowed fucking Lolita from your school’s library? And you want other kids to be able to do the same?

      Yeah. A couple of years after I first read it, I wrote a coursework essay about the unreliable narrator, using Lolita and Pale Fire as my primary texts (the latter also by Nabokov). What’s the problem with that? I’m assuming you’ve not read either if you’re getting this outraged, lol

        Ah. We clearly had different experiences of high school. Lmao.

        So is it or is not explicit btw? Does it contain ‘detailed and clear depictions of sexual acts, including’? Because you seem to lean into whatever is the opposite of what I say lol. But we’re taking about OP.

          I mean it’s pretty graphic when he compares her ring to a football pump before going into licking it, but it’s also hilarious

            I don’t know what to tell you. If this metaphor qualifies as a ‘detailed and clear’ depiction of sex for you, sure I guess? I see what you’re saying in that case.

            Maybe I’ve just been exposed to more clear and detailed written depictions of sex lol.
