JFC if good prose is enough to make you okay with pesophilia maybe you weren't that far away from it in the first place
love of the Mexican currency.
I just think it's neat.
Me encanta tambien.
Lmao I'm leaving it in
Crime novels about murders are a very popular type of book. Do you think that people read them because they'd enjoy watching murder in real life?
Also, the writing seriously is that good. I'd have completed the book if it was about watching paint dry.
Depends on the person, but in general no. Enjoying the book is fine, but it shouldn't make you okay with the morally wrong concepts it presents. I don't read a murder mystery and come out of it thinking that murder is good, just like you shouldn't come out of fight club thinking fight clubs are good.
I interpreted your first comment as meaning that you are supposed to hate the book because of its topic as many people seem to think whenever it is brought up.
Rowling has said a lot more questionable things, though. And even written books about her insane opinions. Calling Lolita a love story makes sense, as that is the protagonist's point of view, even though the story is also many other things.
