Nabokov

[Perry Noid]

This topic is getting me excited about Nab all over again. Can't wait to
finish The Peripheral so I can start on Ada. Super excited! And I still
haven't completed the Pynchon oeuvre either; missing V, Vineland, and Mason
& Dixon but I will get to them in time, hopefully. Most interested in M&D
since it seems to be the least talked about here or anywhere for some
reason. It makes me curious. Goldarn holiday is forcing me to put reading
on the back burner though unfortunately.
