> The book Lolita is ok in europe, a bit weird but not banned.
I don't think people even consider it weird, as most people haven't read it. People who do read the book tend to be predisposed towards appreciating literature as an accepted vehicle for exploring ideas and thoughts that would be condemned in real life — including all kinds of murder, sex, drugs, illicit liaisons, and assorted forms of destructive behaviour.
Incidentally, it is for sale in every decent bookshop that has an English literature section; Penguin publishes it in their modern classics line.
