Funny, as I recieved this message I was reading _Pnin_, my first exposure to
Nabokov.  I'm not quite finished, but a fun book so far.  The most obvious
connection I think would be both authors' insightful use of scientific
metaphors.  Nabokov was some sort of trained scientist as well, wasn't he?
Entomologist, or something?
