Change in Plans:

Not that I don't want to write a review for Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, but I won't be doing one for this strange and rather disturbing book (but only in certain places). Because of school and all of its stressful things (two papers and a final exam), I will not have the time to read the last 100 pages or so of the book. The ending is very important, so I will not be a good judge of it. I will say, however, that if I had the time to finish, I would, because what I have read is perfectly crafted and Nabokov is an excellent writer. His only fault was that the 200 pages I did read lacked plot, and well this book dragged too much on a certain feeling the narrator had, which I could have dealt with better had their been more of a conflict. That is all.


I don't know what the next book will be, either The Green Mile by Stephen King or A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess.
