Weekly “what are you reading” thread # 12 . NON BOOK CLUB RELATED ONLY

As you well know, we are reading the first 7 chapters of The Master and Margarita in our recently created book club.

However the Friday threads are for non book club readings only, we’ll reserve “The Master and Margarita” discussions for Sundays.

I finished Lolita earlier this week. Humbert and Quilty chapter was basically . I’m glad both of them died, after finishing I went back to the prologue to realize Dolores was “Mrs Schiller” who died at childbirth

This book had a hard to swallow plot, and Nobokov managed to write an engaging story with it, he said he based Humbert Humbert on Lewis Carroll, probably because of his writing style but the funny thing is Carroll was probably a closeted .

But I have to say that among Nabokov’s works, I preferred “Pale Fire” to “Lolita”.
