the vast majority of people don't know about this book. the few who do either like it or don't like it but admit the prose is superb and it should be read.
so just go read it.

>>	Anonymous Thu Feb 28 07:34:37 2019 No.12677772 >>12677765 read it a few years ago but i'm re-reading it. it's just that most people are familiar with the word lolita and associate it with pedophilia, so i'm worried that people might think i'm a pedophile.

>most people are familiar with the word lolita
hm, don't know about that. not doubting it, just really don't know.
but, even if that is true, you can still just follow the general rule that people just don't care about others when on comute.
unless its one of those editions with a really suggestive cover, i'd say you're safe. go for it.

I always read on public transport, and when someone is sitting next to me or in front of me I usually flash them a knowing smile and prop my book up so that they can see the cover while I'm reading. There is nothing more intellectually dominating than reading in public.

yes, caring about what other people do with their free time.
if i'm spending two hours on comute to and from work, might as well use it for reading.
