i love invitation to a beheading

it features one of my favorite chapters in all of literature

in fact, i find it every bit as novel as "my mother is a fish"

with that said, pale fire is a better book

"And then those thick black wings, with a glazy eyespot on each and a purplish bloom dusting their hooked foretips, took a full breath under the impulse of a tender, ravishing, almost human happiness."

"Mrs. "Richard F. Schiller" died in childbed, giving birth to a stillborn girl, on Christmas Day 1952, in Gray Star, a settlement in the remotest Northwest."
