Pnin by Vladimir Nabokov
5.0
It is fashionable to say that Pnin is your favorite book and not the popular Lolita. I have not read Lolita, but I love this book and hence I am more than fashionable.
The story of a maladjusted Russian immigrant professor Pnin in a new England college is not a happy one, but it is not sad either. Nabakov is the master of the scene, going in great detail describing trees, leaves wind etc, but I never got bored by it. I was relishing each detail and still the story was moving along.
The main character professor Pnin has no charming qualities whatsover, but Nabakov makes him look so gracious that I ended up loving Pnin.
A favorite.
