"The world only exists in your eyes-- your conception of it. You can make it as big or as small as you want to. And you're trying to be a little puny individual. By God, if I ever cracked, I'd try to make the world crack with me."

Lolita | Vladimir Nabokov

Two #blackandwhitebookcovers from my downstairs bookshelves! #maybookflowers

CallMeMax Would you recommend Lolita to someone who hasn't read Russian literature in a rather long time or would that be too hard to read? 7y
tricours @CallMeMax Nabokov originally wrote in English, If I'm not mistaken? Anyway I think he'd be a horrible choice since his prose is far from easy! And I haven't actually read Lolita 😁 I've got it in Swedish too, and I might opt for that version instead because my Russian paperback is so fragile. Or wait, did you not ask about the language aspect? 7y
CallMeMax I did. I don't know the book that's why I asked. It just looks really beautiful and lovely, so I thought I'd ask. Thank you :) 7y

tricours @CallMeMax I've read a collection of short stories by him, and in my GR review I wrote that he is damned hard to read in Russian! 7y
CallMeMax I didn't see that review then, I'm sorry 7y
tricours @CallMeMax no need to apologize, I didn't even remember it myself and had to go and check 😀 7y
