nabokov thread
According to a list of the ten greatest books of the 20th century, as voted by 125 famous authors, number one and number 10 are both by Nabokov. To have written two of the ten best novels of the 20th century (as voted by his peers), one of them number one, and to be a distinguished writer in more than one language, is strong evidence that Nabokov is the most accomplished writer of the 20th century.

Only cucks put faith in such lists.
Did you read his books then?
I read Lolita and I liked it. Should I read Pale Fire or Ada next?
I enjoyed ada but I haven't read pale fire. Ada has a very difficult first 50 pages, but after that it's smooth sailing. It uses three languages and also assumes an "anti-terra" (something like bizarro-earth)... it was hard to get through, but after I got through the initial wall I loved it. I don't know what ada is like.
sorry, I don't know what pale fire is like. 2 drunk 2 post
