great discussion

we had a really enjoyable discussion this evening. there wasn't a huge group there, but sometimes smaller groups allow for more interaction.
.
we really delved into the complexities of "The Eye" by Nabokov. this work is a fascinating mystery, leaving you guessing until the final pages who the protagonist actually is. Jane, one of our regular contributors, knew from the early parts of the book who he was. but it wasn't until the final few pages that i realized it, and that's mostly because the author tells us.
.
i enjoyed lolita when i read it a few years ago. and i've read an introduction to english literature written by Nabokov that i really liked. but reading "The Eye" made me want to read everything that Nabokov wrote. but maybe not right now - i've got "Odd Thomas" to read for next month.
.
please feel free to pick up a copy of "Odd Thomas" and join us in four Thursdays for coffee, talk, and laughs.
