if you rank threads by incorporating factors such as thread longevity, thread pages, and sheer ridiculousness, this one would rank pretty highly.

I always loved snickering at John Updike's name...he will be missed

Nabakov is a quality goaltender.

John Updike grinned in the face of death

he says so himself in an interview with Kurt Andersen, portions of which will be re-run during his obit on Studio 360 this weekend

I'm re-reading Lolita...the man was one of the greatest English stylists who ever lived. Easily, easily top 5 ever.

I sat next to a cute girl reading Lolita on the metro a week or so ago. She was just reading it for class but got a thumbs up from me any way.

I want to go back to NCSU and sit in on Halpern's classes for the rest of my life.

I found myself checking out my friend's 12-year-old daughter today

two years after I started this thread, and I'm writing a paper for Halpern again

"Speaking at a memorial service for Nabokov in Manhattan in 1977, Mr. Appel recalled telling him about an antiwar protest at Northwestern during which a student had called Mr. Appel a eunuch. Nabokov said quickly, “Oh no, Alfred, you misunderstood him. He called you a unique.”"

5/7/2009 4:49:34 PM

being a math major, I have heard several foreigners make that mistake

it's pretty damned funny to hear them asking if a solution is "eunuch"

7/20/2009 4:38:45 PM

yes, really

with arms akimbo

7/20/2009 4:49:22 PM

So should I read "Invitation to a Beheading," "The Gift," or "Pale Fire?"

8/17/2009 7:17:26 PM

Pale Fire

8/17/2009 7:59:42 PM

Pale Fire

8/17/2009 8:24:21 PM

Pale Fire

8/17/2009 8:25:02 PM

So should the other two be high on the list(As in better than all his other stuff, aside from Lolita and Pale Fire), or am I mistaken?

8/17/2009 8:52:24 PM

I'm not sure there's a real consensus beyond Lolita and Pale Fire.

Invitation to a Beheading is good, though. I haven't read The Gift.
