Description

As always, every giveaway of mine hosts either a poem or a book quote. Who knows, maybe someone will eventually decide that poetry or that book in particular might be their cup of tea ☕.
This is the incipit of one of the most disturbing books I've ever read, which happens to be also one of the best novels ever written.

"Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita."

Vladimir Nabokov (1899 - 1977), Lolita

I wish I could read, but I can't.
Thx for the giveaway ;-)
