书友们,
从我们的书会成立以来,昨晚的读书会让我第一次感到我们真正地进入了轨道。我这么说并不是贬低以往聚会,每一次从领读者到他成员都是非常认真的。昨晚上大家对书中细节的斟酌推敲绝对是第一流的。另外爱丽丝为我们另开了一个可效仿的先例。大家读书,大家提问。
etc. 看来我们是要“妹妹你大胆地往前走”了,往前走,不回头,一直走到”德黑兰”去了。
下一次聚会(九月30日)我们要讨论:
1.《在德黑兰读洛莉塔》 -- 第一章“Lolita”(每人必读)
2. Nabokov’s Lolita – 读全文, 可听 Book-on-CD, 读介绍,看电影.
紫罗兰在网上找到中文的《洛莉塔》。不是全文,但总能让你体会一下。不要忘记读一下作者介绍,内容介绍,作品欣赏。这对我们理解小说很有帮助。

Have begun listening to Lolita! The voice of the reader is seductive enough!
So far, "I" introduced myself as a young, motherless boy at age three, receiving affections and sympathies from many. Father owns a hotel. So very rich family. Anna, later the wife, is dating, and their passionate, senseless love. etc. Mother died of accident of some sort!
A good start!
Yeah, the tape I'm listening to is read by Jerome Irons. Who is your's reader?
He is perfect fit to the role, H.H. in the 1997 movie.
that was him. I did not know how to spell his last name, but Jerome Irons it is!
Just so I have something to write. Finished listening the 10 CDs, very engaging, chilling, and disdurbing! I have to remind myself this is only a fiction when the story was way too heavy and sickening!
A great writer, a great novel, but don't take the story as facts or realities.
It is a hard sell to us. Where is the morality of the tale?
Nafisi's book really helped me to look at this book in a different light. If individualism can go as far as it could, any individualistic act/thoguhts can be viewed as a protest to a dictatorship that a society wish to impose on its citizens.
