Lust

{my idea of Lolita}

"Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Le-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."

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov


As quoted from a VenusZine writer, Summer 2010 issue:
"The single best opening paragraph in the history of anything. Read it."

I'm just waiting for the day I get it from the bookstore. Then I can at least check off one thing from my long list.
