Ada is amazing. It kills me to think that English is Nabokov's third language and he can play with the words in a way that very few people can.
I didn't realize there was even a connection between the Cure and Harold and Maude. Like I said, I'm far from a huge Cure fan.
I'll have to check out the book recommendations. I'm always looking for new authors since I have read pretty much everything by most of the authors I love.
Solzhenitsyn I've read. I pretty much go out of my way to read the Russians. I tried learning Russian so I could read it in the original, but I got bogged down and never went back to it.
I've been impressed with how well read some people are on this site. It seems like when I talk to people around here they have never read some of my favorite books, but on here I can easily find dozens of people who have read them.
