Pnin by Vladimir Nabokov
3.0

What a wonderful little book. Each sentence penned is done so fervently, and it made me feel like I was along for the ride the whole book. I will say this dude knows like too much shit like how do u know about so many birds and nature shit and words I was in the dictionary for a good amount of the book. Change, love, the past, not fitting in, we’re all some of the themes present and at times I couldn’t help myself from laughing at Timofey, while others I felt geniunely bad. He just seemed forlorn and despondent for a good majority of the book. He just seemed like a good guy. Nabokovs prose is easily the best I’ve ever read, and it makes you wonder like why even read if it’s not written this stunningly cause like it’s just fire. Overall it was great. It was fire tho.
