Ah, I plan on doing that. I have it on my bookshelf, and I'm sure I'll pick it up again in the future.
I was just turned off by prose that I felt was overwrought and cloying. I guess I'm used to more contemporary reading with a larger focus on events, as opposed to Lolita's sort of poetic monologue. I suppose a lot of it depends on how you absorb literature... I'd say that you would take in Lolita the same way you would listen to a song, where as I am much more used to fiction that requires a cinematic aesthetic.
