GRGR (15): Good & Evil (was Enzian...)

[David Morris]

Lolita is one of my all-time favorie books because it manages to accomplish 
so much.  The range of issues and emotions we, Lolita, and Humbert travel in 
this book is fantastic.  I also really liked the last movie incarnation w/ 
Jeremy Irons: It stayed very close to the book.
