Well, I read "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov, but most people who haven't read it will brand it a paedosexual book, but I think it is a beautiful piece of literature. I guess it is all about cultural acceptance on the themes presented in the novel, because it wouldn't shock people in Scandinavia, The Netherlands or Germany as much as it would in the US or the UK.
