Pnin
by Vladimir Nabokov
Nabokov wrote Pnin and Lolita at the same time. Timofey Pnin and Humbert Humbert are yin and yang - Pnin is the cozy, soothing cup of tea to Humbert's deadly-sweet intoxicant.
Pnin is glorious in a quiet way, and by the end of the book I was cheering for our hero. Reading with bated breath,. Pnin shows up safe and sound in Pale Fire, with a tenured professorship at Wordsmith College and wearing a Hawaiian shirt.
I know I'll read this again some day.
