The third greatest masterpiece of 20th century prose.

Nabokov, is this you?

One of my top 10 books of all time. Nabokov praises it as one of the great modernist masterpieces he's read. I enjoyed it a lot. It's one of the few novels I've read more than once.

Anyone ever notice how many threads we have of OP buying a book and then asking our opinion on it, without having read it yet? What goes through the brains of people like this? Wouldn't it make more sense to ask before buying?

Or how about actually reading the damn thing, and then make a thread what you thought of it, and ask for opinions?

I don't get these dumb threads.

Scene with Apollon and Nikolai on the staircase, when one of them drops something and tries to pick it up, is probably one of the funniest things I've ever read.
