Lolita is both a movie and a book. It is about a pedophile by the name of Humbert Humbert, a college literature professor. When he is young, he falls in love with a girl his own age.l his own age, and, as he grew into adulthood, he never lost his obsession with "nymphets," teenagers who walk a fine line between being a girl and a woman. While looking for a place to live after securing a new teaching position, he meets Charlotte Haze (Melanie Griffith), a pretentious and annoying woman who seems desperately lonely and is obviously attracted to Humbert. Humbert pays her little mind until he meets her 13-year-old daughter Lolita (Dominique Swain), the image of the girl that Humbert once loved. Humbert moves into the Haze home as a boarder and eventually marries Charlotte in order to be closer to Lolita. When Charlotte finds out about Humbert's attraction to her daughter, she flees the house in a rage, only to be killed in an auto accident. Without telling Lolita of her mother's fate, Humbert takes her on a cross-country auto trip, where their relationship begins to move beyond the traditional boundaries of stepfather and step-daughter.
(taken from here) It sounds..interesting. Definitely a tad bit weird, though. I have always wanted to read the book myself |

You guys have never heard of the book? Are you familiar with the movie Lolita?
Well, it's about a pedophile. In the book, Lolita is 11 or 10 or something, but in the movie, she's 13, so it's not such a "shock" to everyone. That's why the gothic style Lolita looks like something a doll wears, or a little girl wears. |

I adore that book. It is really a bit disturbing, but it was written to be. I prefer "Crime and Punishment" when it comes to Russian literature, but "Lolita" was good.
