From what I understand, this isn't really considered one of Nabokov's best, but since it's my first, I loved it. Such wonderful word play and clever descriptions.
Can't wait to read more.

A book that stings more than it tickles. It hits too close to home for a Chinese émigré in the West such as myself, who, despite self-proclaimed pragmatism, can never quite shake off an idealistic indulgence in useless antiquity. I hope I am more worldly than hapless Prof Pnin.
