I really want to read this book because I already own it and I haven't gotten time to read it even though I really really want to! I know it is a movie but I promised myself I would wait until I read the book to watch it!

This is about a love story between a man and a young girl which sounds really gross but I have seen the movie and it is actually very abstract and like artfully done. Humbert travels to America to finish writing his textbook and he has been boarded into a house owned by a woman and her daughter who is named Lolita. They fall in love and travel the world together.

I REALLY want to read this book because I watched the movie and the symbolism and the controversy around the story really interested me. I knew that the book would probably have deeper explanations more detail, because that usually is the case, so i ordered it and the book has been sitting on my nightstand since July.

**After going through and looking at all these lists you posted on canvas of famous books you have to read I did not realize how famous and well known Lolita is. I REALLY REALLY want to read it now!**

After writing To Kill a Mockingbird she never had any intention of ever publishing Go set a Watchman. This book is flashbacks of a character named Jean Louise Finch's life. She thinks back on when her father Atticus defended an innocent black man who was charged with rape. Jean Louise also talks about growing up and how her life was changed after that.

I enjoyed To Kill a Mockingbird quite a bit and Mrs. Gargus actually recommended this book to me after explaining how this book was published even though Harper Lee didn't actually want it to be.

I had heard about this book before and I had forgotten about it but when we went to the library you recommended this to Isabel which kinda reminded me. So I wanted to add it to my list so that I will remember to get to it.

This book is a more dystopian type book where in society women are limited to 100 words per day. If they go over their amount of words they are electrocuted. Jean McClellan is kinda over everyone's crap and not being able to speak so this book is about her and how she will do anything to protect herself and her daughter.

I watched this movie with my boyfriend because he is like actually obsessed with these books. He's read the entire series and went on a tangent about how good it is. Of course he isn't one that really reads a lot but I did enjoy the movie so maybe I will like the books.

My mom read this book and owns the movie and she swears by it. She loves it and sat me down to watch the movie with her when I was about 8 and much to her disappointment, despised it. Fast forward 9 years on thanksgiving we were flipping through the channels and it was playing on PBS. I wasn't really into it at first but the next thing I knew it was over and I loved it. I want to read this book because I know it's better than the book and my mom loves it.

I have read so many Stephen King books, I would have to take my socks off to count. It's kind of a low-key obsession I have. His stories always seem to interest me in a weird creepy way.
