lolita....

ok, so 2 days after finishing , lolita.....i have to say that nabokov led me down the garden path as he set-up for the ending.........and this is a good thing.......i am an avid mystery reader, and naturally look for the culprit at each and every plot twist......so i was surprised when lolita did not end the way i assumed it would, given the introduction......and it remains a book that is not for everyone.....i sat next to someone in sunday school who would not care to read it if she hasn't already....so i answered ' bob dylan's biography' when she asked me what i am reading right this minute.......and so now i move on to a book called gilead.......which is up for a book award.......gilead is a work that i can spell easily...g-i-l-e-a-d....as i come from mount gilead, ohio.......i can tell you that mount gilead is the site where laban overtook jacob....and that there was a famous watchtower named mizpah....and that there was a balm made there.......but i do not think that this book is about any of those things......we shall see......so far i am doing well with books for february.......though this cleaning jag may get in the way.......
