Our Shelf Talker

This may trouble some people, so let me explain. A few years ago I re-read Lolita and I was struck by how it made me reflect on the dimensions of love, not just the story of an older man seducing a young girl. Maybe it was the distance of so many years – I first read the novel as a young woman – but my reaction in later life was completely different. Give it a try and let me know what you think. In essence this is a book about what love means to people, and that's why it's such a great discussion book. Here's an idea: host a couple's book club and invite your closest friends. You'll be amazed at what happens. Ours was among the liveliest book group meetings I've ever had.
