i went through a nabokov phase a few years back where i read everything i could get my hands on as fast as i could. ada was my favorite then and now, for me it's the most satisfying of his novels. nabokov writes prose as if it's music, there's phrases from this book that sang themselves to me long after i finished the last page. if you haven't read this yet i envy you - enjoy.
