Tried it, couldn't get into it. And this was when I was unemployed and living with my now wife. So, I had time galore.

It seems like a book you have to read cover to cover in one sitting to jam it all in your head.

Now, from what I recall I did chuckle a couple times. But other than that it was a big shrug-fest to me. Just couldn't muster a care.

I never thought I'd admit to such base and earthen attitude, nay vulgar. But there we are.

When I saw this, I looked on my bookshelf. I know I read something by Nabokov other than Lolita, and I wondered if it was Pale Fire. It was.

I remember liking it at the time, but that's all. Now I'm going to go back and read it again. Must have missed something.
