Kelly recommends: Lolita by Valdamir Nabakov


"Lolita is the sad story of Humpbert Humpbert, a man with the overwhelming desire to love a young girl. Humpbert falls in love with Lolita, a pre-teenaged girl, at first sight and marries her mother to have full access to Lolita. His plan is almost thwarted by her mother's discovery of Humpbert's pedophilac tendancies. However, Mama's accidental death proves the catalyst for the unlikely pair of lovers to set off on a cross-country trip where Humpbert indulges his most secret fantasies. The book details the relationship, ever-changing, always taboo, between Humpbert and Lolita, a relationship that, by its very nature, seems doomed to ultimate failure. "
