姥姥提醒我们最好先读Lolita, 然后再开始读Reading Lolita in Tehran. That is a brilliant idea.
Here is the homework for everyone before we meet next time. Everyone is required either make a post or comment about Lolita.
About you have search in the internet, read the summary, watch the movie, etc.

我先来抛砖引玉：《洛莉塔》的作者纳博科夫，是仅有的几个用英文写出“伟大的小说”的外籍作家之一，康拉德是另一位。哈金是否会进入这个行列还有待时间的考验。
此小说从它问世起就成为攻击与赞许的对象，多少次从书架上取下来，又被放上去。有人骂它黄，淫秽，下流。有人称它是世界文学史上的里程碑。不管怎么说，它在由美国当代图书馆学会评出的20世纪最杰出的100本英文小说名列第四。阿颯兒选用《洛莉塔》是出于她对纳博科夫研究与钟爱，当然她的用意我们读过此书就会更明白。
I will insert something here too:
From my recollection, this is story about a unique relationship between a teenage girl and a grown man. Ther friendship, leading to intimacy, turned out to be a somewhat disastrous ending. Unfortunately, I don't recall the ending! But it was quite a reading about human expressions of desire, seduction and longing for intimacy from many perspectives.
