I finally read Nabokov's Pale Fire. It is far and away the best book I have ever read. I think about it multiple times a week unprompted and I'm sad because I am certain that I will never find another book like it.

Read a few years ago and agree with this assessment. A genuine work of genius, and probably in my top five books of all time.
I read maybe half. Didn't get it. Somewhere in the middle he starts to comment about all that happened? Is it part of the book?
