I enjoyed the book and the style. It gave me an even greater appreciation for Kubrick's adaptation, and in particular, the casting.

I'll leave you with some choice quotes, everything is from horny Humbert's point of view, he is the narrator.

On his travels:
"Bourbon Street (in a town named New Orleans) whose sidewalks, said the tour book, "may [I like the "may"] feature entertainment by pickaninnies who will [I liked the "will" even better] tap-dance for pennies" (what fun), while "its numerous small and intimate night clubs are thronged with visitors" (naughty)."

On his post-Lolita companion:
"She had a natty little coupé; and in it we traveled to California so as to give my venerable vehicle a rest. Her natural speed was ninety. Dear Rita! We cruised together for two dim years, from summer 1950 to summer 1952, and she was the sweetest, simplest, gentlest, dumbest Rita imaginable."

A poem he wrote for Lolita at a young age that she deemed "nonsense":

"The Squirl and his Squirrel, the Rabs and their Rabbits
Have certain obscure and peculiar habits.
Male hummingbirds make the most exquisite rockets.
The snake when he walks holds his hands in his pockets..."

When he received a letter from Lolita and decided to up and leave Rita:

"I was again on the road, again at the wheel of the old blue sedan, again alone. Rita had still been dead to the world when I read that letter and fought the mountains of agony it raised within me. I had glanced at her as she smiled in her sleep and had kissed her on her moist brow, and had left her forever, with a note of tender adieu which I taped to her navel--otherwise she might not have found it."

On meeting Lolita's husband, Dick, who is hard of hearing and doesn't shave:

"Dolly [Lolita] and band-aided Bill [their crippled neighbor] reappeared. It occurred to me that her ambiguous, brown and pale beauty excited the cripple. Dick, with a grin of relief stood up. He guessed Bill and he would be going back to fix those wires. He guessed Mr. Haze and Dolly had loads of things to say to each other. He guessed he would be seeing me before I left. Why do those people guess so much and shave so little, and are so disdainful of hearing aids?"
