Read some real literature says the guy with the anime avatar.

OK, Mr. Anime Dude, I will. Oh wait I already do. OK, bye!

OK, I will!

Has anyone read that annotated version Lolita? Would you recommend it for someone who hasn't read it before, or is it better for someone already familiar with the novel?

Yeah, makes sense. I wonder though if the annotations are written in such a way that I can just ignore them the first time through. I should just crack it open at the store the next chance I get and check it out.

Wait, that can't be serious. 3 L. Ron Hubbard and 4 Ayn Rand books in the reader's Top 10? It must have been an online vote bombed by conservative scientologists. Or at least, conservatives with really piss poor taste in sci-fi novels. That's loving incredible.

Not so much that, but just how awful the selections are. I'd expect them to be awful, but not that bad. Other lists aren't nearly so stacked with poo poo.

eh I've seen "Readers polls" where 7 out of the top 10 best books ever were the harry potter books and the other 3 were twilight books. they are often stacked with poo poo just in different directions

At the risk of derailing this thread too much further with list chat I will just say that the Harry Potter books being on that list would honestly be a bit of an improvement over the Hubbard or Rand poo poo and leave it at that. It's obviously a bullshit list anyway that was vote bombed so it doesn't even bear discussion I guess.
