David Sedaris - Me Talk Pretty One Day

These forums have been a great place for me to be introduced to new music, but as far as books go the taste tends toward critically revered authors, although not neccesarily their canonized books.

You seem to enjoy Nabokov, so you might be able to help me. I've never read any of his works, but now I have a choice between Lolita, Ada, or Ardor, or Glory. Which would you recommend?

I've had a copy of that for years and never got around to reading it. The fact that every time I look at it I get that God-awful Orange Juice song in my head means I have to turn it about face on yonder bookshelf.

Ada, or Ardor is my favorite novel of his, followed by Pale Fire, and then Lolita.

You may want to start with Lolita - it makes for a great introduction. I personally prefer his works that were originally in English. I'd stay away from Glory, Invitation, etc. until you've read the ones originally in English first. I also highly recommend his autobigraphy Speak, Memory. It really ties a lot together, especially a lot of the things in Ada.

I choose Ada, or Ador. It's overviews made the book appear more interesting than Lolita.

Oh oh oh, this website is good:

http://www.ada.auckland.ac.nz/

It has annotations for the first 24 chapters and can be really helpful. It also has the full text.
