Another good thing to come out of Australia...

So not too long ago Camille once again mentioned how much she loved
_Lolita_, a book that I'd always avoided, despite tempting lyrics in my
favorite Police song. And not too much later, I found myself (wonder of
wonders) in a bookstore, looking for nothing in particular, and I picked up
L., determined to finally buy it so I could see what all the commotion was
about.
And Camille, you were right. It is a truly excellent book. And if this was
a Nabokov listserv, I'd probably start a thread on it right now, but I'll
abstain. So, book recommendations, Jim's coat, and... pumpkin soup.
(Tried it for the first time when I was in Sydney last year. And here I
was, thinking that all you could do with pumpkins was make pie.)
Oh, and Tim Tams too. I'm still trying to find an American supplier.
Anyway, thanks. I just finished the book and wanted to tell someone how
great I thought it was.
Regards,
Cecilia.
