lalalaaaaa

I just started reading Lolita today. The narrator is so creeeeepy. He makes me feel creepy by association. :( But I'm interested so I shall continue reading.

I've always wanted to read it because, well. Controversy attracts, yo. Also, banned book lists are seriously dumb. In actuality they double as handy Must-Read lists. "Oh, you don't want me to read that book? WELL, I GUESS I'LL JUST WANDER OVER TO THE BOOKSTORE AND PICK A COPY UP~~~"

Truer words have ne'er been spoken.

And if I ever chose to ban books, it would be for a *real* reason. 'This book is boring. BAN!'

Hah, yeah! They can have 'Books That Are Boring as Shit!' lists, they would be so much more useful. Moby Dick would definitely belong at the top of the list. That book was like mental torture. D:

Your "creepy mc creeperpants" tag really amuses me. XD I've been meaning to read Lolita for a little while... I agree, because it's a banned book I feel like I have to check it out to see what all the fuss is!

\o/ I'm glad to hear it! :D I feel like that tag will come in handy a lot sometimes.

Right? It's like an engraved invitation. I don't know why they bother anymore.

TOTALLY. But then they have books like 'Where's Waldo' on the list, and then it's just sad. Seriously, guys? 'Where's Waldo?' Seriously?

Well... IDK. I looked at Where's Waldo later on in life and noticed how racist and mysoginist it COULD seem, if you were looking for the signs, but I'm not a child psychologist so I can't say how that would affect children when all they're doing is looking for a geek in stripes.

Wait, really? :O I didn't know that, that sucks. :( I hate looking back on stuff I enjoyed when I was a kid and then being all ...WAIT.
