As I work towards my MA in Lierature, which is hopefully a step towards piling it high and deep, I have a Literature and Culture class that will focus on the Kennedy assasination. My first assignmnet is a book written by one of JFK's mistresses called Mafia Moll. Judith Campbell Exner is the author. My other class is a Comparative Lit class centering around "unlikable characters". Required reading include Jude the Obscure, Lolita, Madam Bovary, and a few others. I am liking my choices this semester.

Obviously very creepy, but probably the best first-person narrative I've ever read.

One of the things we are exploring is what does a person get out of reading. The discussion for any of these books will be interesting, but how to explain Lolita?
