:eek: Don't tell me that has been translated!
It was a bit case in Italy but I'm not interested in reading the erotic adventures of a 16-year-old...

It was a bit of a 'sensationalised' deal here too, not sure why :p it's full of hackneyed clichés and the simplistic and tawdry writing made it quite boring.

100 strokes of the Brush before Bed Google search reveals no downloadable e-texts...but it is available from several online retailers and can also be found on Google books.

From what I read from the google search, the book details the semi-autobiographical erotic adventures of a teenage girl, beginning shortly after her 14th birthday. While acknowledging that sexuality is a normal and wholesome aspect of human nature, I find the idea of such a young person engaging in sex with multiple partners both male and female disturbing. Especially the exploits of the author with much older partners.
In my state, a grown man who engages in sexual activity with a 15 year old is considered a criminal.
Lolita from Delores Haze's point of view?

It is supposedly taken from the author's own diary...so I think it would be more accurate to describe it as Lolita from Lolita's point of view.
*edit* duh, of course. I mixed up Charlotte Haze with Dolores Haze. So yes, Lolita from the viewpoint of Dolores. But I think a main difference is that "Melissa P" seems to be a more than willing participant, she has undertaken her activities of her own volition.(taking into consideration I haven't read "100 strokes", only excerpts from it) Lolita is more about subtle and not so subtle coercion. I don't care how Humbert tries to excuse himself, he is coercive at best. But now I am wandering away from the topic of the post...
Lolita is a well written and lyrical book, albeit one that gave me the heebie jeebies. :sick: Google books had excerpts from "100 Strokes" and the quality of the writing isn't even in the same realm as Nabokov's. However, this is my subjective opinion, no disrespect to the opening poster.

I am really surprised that this book has been translated into English, after being a big editorial case here in Italy, as Koa has said, I hoped at least it would remain within our borders.
Anyway I read a few excerpts in italian and I think it's not worth the whole reading, too.
