I have been reading the "Enchanted Hunter" section over and over, and have yet to discover all of the covert allusions and subtleties it is brimming with. I am an enchanted hunter, so to speak. I've sort of developed a new interpretation of the book, based on certain clues, as well as things Nabokov does in other works .
Are you reading the notes along with the text? You may want to skip those, Bookworm.
SaturdayCoffeeBookClub blog, you now seem to be defunct. You were great while you lasted, and I really enjoyed posting on you...you were a means to share some of my Nabokov marginalia with the masses. Hopefully you are now in a better place, amongst frollicking literati with endless time on their hands. May you rest in peace. Amen.
Just a late night idea I had one night:
To blog about what book I was currently reading, then, sit at a coffee shop and see who else out there wanted to talk about the same book.
Becuase you can't be strangers if you have shared stories.

Nabokov blows my fucking mind.

I've been skipping a chunk of the notes. Some of them are about errors in capitalization that were corrected after the first printing. So insightful!
[You don't mind that I said "fuck" in your blog, do you? If you'd like, I'll keep it clean from now on.]
? Eulogy:
