I’m currently on Chapter 3 Part 2 of Lolita (page 166 of the annotated edition). I have no idea why people say this book is pedophilia apologia, or why some say the main character is “sympathetic”. Humbert Humbert is not just a perv, he’s a psychopath as well.
besides the fact he’s funny and witty. As for the witting, is absolutely beautiful, so many references, wordplay and french quotes, you can tell how great Nabokov was by making such a great book with a such a delicate subject as this.

Reading the dark tower series, on wolves of calla. I really tried reading the wizard and the glass but after 200 pages of I dont give a shit about susan delgado I just skipped it. Tried to watch the movie and show based off them but they're both terrible.
