I love the director Stanley Kubrick, so when I was watching many of his films, I saw Lolita. I thought the film was brilliant, so I asked for the book for christmas (and got it ) so its now on my reading pile for 2009! I also didn't realise there was an updated version with Jeremy Irons in it, but im defeninatly going to buy that version now Actually, when I got the book, I thought it looked like Jeremy Irons on the front cover, so it is probably a picture from that version on the front of my book!
