Nabokov's writing is lyrical, intelligent, coherent - although obsessive, it is also collected, thus depicting Humbert Humbert as someone, although objectively lecherous, completely sympathetic. I find some of the passages simultaneously disturbing yet erotic. Does that make me a pervert, or does that make Nabokov a great writer?
Which I sorta tried saying here.

Thanks for your comment! I do really love this book though. I liked the passages you picked out too. Really lyrical and beautiful.
By the way, my name isn't Tim O'Brien, I'm just reading his short stories concurrently. :)
