I called a book boring until my friend read one page out loud in Tulsa
Last month my buddy brought a copy of Lolita to our lunch break. I said it was old and overrated. He opened to a random page and read like 4 sentences. The way the words actually worked on me in 30 seconds was embarrassing. I had only ever judged it by the cover and the court cases. Now I get why it gets banned. It makes you uncomfortable with yourself. That is the whole point. After that I started reading the first page of any challenged book before I trash talk it. Anyone else flip on a book after hearing it out loud or reading a single passage?
