Lolita common place vol. 1

It would be impossible for me to post all of my notes from this book for i would simply have to rewrite it, but here are a few that truly made me laugh.

"Nymphets do not occur in polar regions" 33

"with limp wet things overhanging the dubious tub (the question mark of hair inside)." 38

All
of page 39

"and starting a make-believe conversation about a fake book by some popular fraud." 43

**"Main character: Humbert the Hummer. Time: Sunday morning in June. Place: sunlit living room. Props: old, candy-stripped davenport, magazines, phonograph, Mexican knickknacks (the late Mr. Harold E. Haze-God bless the good man-had engendered my darling at the siesta hour in a blue washed room, on a honey moon trip to Vera Cruz, and mementos, among these Dolores, were all over the place)." 57**

"Must have been an enormous molar with an abscess as big as a maraschino cherry." 63

"As great authors than i have put it: "Let readers imagine" etc. On second thought, I may as well give those imaginations a kick in the pants." 65

" how eventually i might blackmail-no, that is too strong a word-mauvemail big haze." 71

"Most of the dandelions had changed from suns to moons." 73
