Lolita is shit Nabokov can’t write for shit the whole thing is terrible and I don’t understand why it’s considered such a good book.

There's a lot of books out there that I think are famous because they're exceptionally shitty just in a different way than is typical. Same way I personally feel about Ulysses, It's not a literary puzzle, it's just a shitty book where the author tried something stupid and then just kinda kept going. I think Nabokov is a bit more effective, but it's along the same vein.
