Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

Did not finish book. Stopped at 41%.
The writing style, something about it that just did not sit well with me. Hard to understand the thought proces, jumping to different languages, writing some things just for the sake of it and not for any substance. 
The topick itslef is hard to read about.
