I've never dug - I've actively disliked when trying - Nabokov no matter how many times I've tried. I accepted the blame on both. Problem now is not who I'm reading it's how I'm reading. Actually fascinating in a frightening way.BDRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06557941385560728052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-64187744680229066062013-02-20T13:40:14.035-05:002013-02-20T13:40:14.035-05:00If you've never read James Salter's Light ...If you've never read James Salter's Light Years or have unsuccessfully, I suggest you give it a turn. Enjoyed a book called Mister Pip by Lloyd Jones as well. Zadie Smith's new NW has my attention now. Also the nf The Ego Tunnel von Thomas Metzinger. What about Ada?
