Perhaps the best opening passage to a novel written in English.

Lolita * Vladimir Nabokov

I learn something new about this novel--perhaps, even, about myself--every time I read this book.

Could you please do me a favor, and send me a Flickrmail summarizing your thoughts on that novel, why you like it, etc.? I have been reluctant to tackle it myself, because the idea of a grown man having an affair with a young girl is so repugnant to me. On the other hand, I know this is considered to be a great novel, and several people whose judgment I trust have told me it is worth reading, so I don't want to close my mind to it.

Nice photo, btw.
