NaboSummer '09 - update!

Yeah, well, it's going alright. Enjoyable, if not without a whiff of obligation.

Have tackled:

Pnin

Lolita

Ada

Transparent Things


And am in Bend Sinister, which is daunting, because I don't really care about the one man vs. Socialist State plot, which was probably Heavy Stuff in 1947. Still, it was written in English, so doesn't have the drag of the translated stuff (sorry, Dmitri). I DO wish, though, that my copy had this shit-hot cover:


I found a description in this one of snow melting like jewels on mud (or close to it), which is a famous (?) image from "The Vane Sisters," so I was heartened that if even VN repeats images, then I'm doing okay by posting a picture from I Can Haz Cheezburger.
Aren't I???
