Lolita

A re-read, but such a great book. Something new jumps out at me every time. And, coincidentally, NPR had a story just yesterday in which Nabokov was quoted as saying:

Americans mispronounced Lolita “Low-lee-ta, with a heavy, clammy ‘L' and a long ‘o',” when in fact, “the first syllable should be as in ‘lollipop', the ‘L' liquid and delicate, the ‘lee' not too sharp.”

Don't think I can say it that way.
