    Vladimir Nabokov: Lolita

    Yes, you're right about Jeremy Irons although James Mason is certainly the most famous HH. Personally (and perhaps oddly), I find it hard to choose a favorite between the two movies -- they're both amazing and both add hugely to the complete Lolita experience.

    Vladimir Nabokov: Lolita

    Very, very well put, doctor. (I think of you as Dr. Mary Jane White, DVM who wears her brown hair in a braid.;) ) And every rereading makes you want to read it just one more time looking for missed clues. Have you watched the movie(s) yet? :)

    New Site Design - Why?

    Nuh-uh. It's there, muggle. What (by the way) do you guess Franklin would have said about the remaining decades? Just curious. Did people dtop at 40 back then? Let's make some up.

    what books made you cry?

    Whose hormones, ds? Which? Do your male hormones prevent you from crying? Did the mere proximity to your wife's hormones nearly make you cry? Help me out here. Just talking about people crying makes me want to cry.
