yes i’m adding another book to my currently-reading but i’ve been wanting to read this for so long
the foreword is genuinely so funny i love nabokov, & in it he writes “both [hermann and humbert] are neurotic scoundels, yet there is a green lane in paradise where humbert is permitted to wander at dusk once a year; but hell shall never parole hermann” i’m SO SCARED
