Re: What are you reading?

[quote user="laika"]Right on, Faust. BTW, the audio book of this (read by Jeremy Irons) is absolutely incredible. I frequently listen to it when I have writer's block--Nabokov's use of language is mind blowing, and Irons delivery is both scathing and tortured--just perfect.

Wow, I have to get that! His English is really mind-blowing, as is his Russian. It's amazing that a non-native English speaker can be that good. BTW, he translated Lolita into Russian himself, and he also translated Alice in Wonderland, I have a volume that has both English and Russian, and it's fun to leaf through.</p>

Yes, it's AWESOME. I can't say enough about good things about it. </p>
Alice in Wonderland sounds great. I so wish that I knew Russian! Lithuanian literature is not particularly compelling. [:^)]</p>
