This is my bedtime book now; a joy: alltime best aphorisms! Unpretentious, anecdotal & erudite?Perfect??
Has a great takedown of Lolita: "if you scratch even a little bit, you won't find a word associated with sexual crimes that doesn't have a hint of carnal pleasure [...] [Nabokov's] every word is like a balloon that he blows up with his slobbering spit almost up to the point where it explodes from pleasure" (!!!)

stopped for the winter break - V. for instance is a nice jaunt, this is steeped in itself. I know now how it feels being on the other end of something you wrote and thought was *really goddamn clever.* Obviously accomplished, but with Perec for example there is no pretense - this is all pretense.
