I’ve never been a fan of Russian literature. I’ve tried and I’ve tried, many authors, to no avail. However, I found something I liked in this one. It was just a moment, a scene after a dinner party, that caught me and nearly elicited a tear. I’ve given it 5 stars for that moment alone, even though I feel the book is roughly twenty pages too long.

Over an unhurried second bottle, Pnin debated with himself his next move or, rather, mediated in a debate between weary-brained Pnin, who had not been sleeping well lately, and an insatiable Pnin, who wished to continue reading at home, as always, till the 2 A.M. freight train

Felt that!
