Classic Literature Book Club: Lolita

You know the story — an underage cutie named Lolita gets an older man all hot and bothered. But is that it? The Classical Literature Book Club is taking a deeper look at Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita, examining the ideas of sexual power, self--control and forbidden desires. Don’t worry, this isn’t a replay of the Intro to Lit classes you used to skip in college. It’s more like having coffee with a group of friends, and you all just happened to have read the same book. (Plus, no one’s getting graded.) Noon. Central Library, 500 McKinney. For information, call 832-393-1313 or visit www.houstonlibrary.org. Free.
