That is so cool. I love his pronunciation of the R. Nabokov and the way he strings words and finds rhythms and makes sentences like songs, it's just amazing :)
Isn't it just! 'Most rivers have a kind of rapid rush', it's incredible. His Rs are almost Russian sounding, much stronger than the English. I can't get enough of his language. You're right, it's just like songs. Perhaps there is a clip of him reading Lolita somewhere?
And his play with iambic pentameter! English literature nerd that I am, I can't get enough.
