Lolita is one of my favourite books, I remember being allowed to take it out of the over-16's part of our school library when I was just 15 because I'd read everything else the library had to offer! I actually still have that copy, because it somehow never made it's way back to the library...Nabakov's writing is so poetic, so emotive. It almost hides the true dark nature of the story. x www.aimeeraindropwrites.co.uk x aimee cottlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778100181716755101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342984045867368820.post-38444932198752894762016-02-18T04:07:53.646+00:002016-02-18T04:07:53.646+00:00This is a wonderful idea, Becky!
I've actually...This is a wonderful idea, Becky!<br />I've actually only read one of these books: Lolita. But I completely agree with you: it has one of the best openings in the world of literature. Another book with a similar type of opening I would recommend—just in case you haven't read it yet—is The Virgin Suicides ;)<br /><br /><a href="http://alivegurl.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Alive as Always</a>alivegurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15878707638499948322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342984045867368820.post-65365800441041177912016-02-17T17:14:19.164+00:002016-02-17T17:14:19.164+00:00I read "light of my life, fire of my loins&qu...I read "light of my life, fire of my loins" in Lana Del Rey's voice, I never realised it wasn't just lyrics!
