Reading Lolita in Tehran, a great memoir about reading banned literature and questioning the repressive institutions that ban works like Lolita and Henry James.

Pic rel first and foremost; so far as more recent times are concerned (early 20th c) I like Berenson's Rumor and Reflection. Honorable mention to Berlioz's Memoirs and Sir Rudolph Bing's 5000 Nights at the Opera.

Has anyone around here read "In Parenthesis" by David Jones? I haven't read it myself yet but Jones seems like the kind of guy who would be right up this board's alley.

One of my favourite books. No idea how unbiased it is, but a fun read either way

>>23329920
So whats the "proper" version of a book when the author himself self censors it?
