You know the story ย an underage cutie named Lolita gets an older man all hot and bothered. But is that it? The Classical Literature Book Club is taking a deeper look at Vladimir Nabokovยs novel Lolita, examining the ideas of sexual power, self–control and forbidden desires. Donยt worry, this isnยt a replay of the Intro to Lit classes you used to skip in college. Itยs more like having coffee with a group of friends, and you all just happened to have read the same book. (Plus, no oneยs getting graded.) Noon. Central Library, 500 McKinney. For information, call 832-393-1313 or visit www.houstonlibrary.org. Free.
