Speak Memory or Invitation to a Beheading are both great fun. I think Pale
Fire is a great literary puzzle, but not a great read. And I think Ada is
also a big puzzle that No One has solved, and most just take it at face
value.  The post-Lolita works aren't as good as pre-Lolita.  But Lolita is
GREAT!
