I can't remember if you were one of the people I've been able to discuss Nabokov with, so I am making my blanket Nabokov recommendation. Any Nabokov will do, particularly Pale Fire, as long as you have a little bit of patience with it. :)

I'll definitely look into it, thank you :)

I too am often eluded by online etiquette. I have difficulty deciding what to do when I stumble upon somebody else's LJ, for fear of seeming stalkerish. However, what I've found to work, in general, is to friend said journals and leave a comment letting them know who you are, so they don't think some random person from LiveJournal Land is stalking them.

I have two nonfiction reccomendations: Freakonomics, and anything by Malcolm Gladwell. Or google his name and read all the articles he's written for the New Yorker. He's amaaaazing.

I haven't read much fiction lately, other than stuff for class. I did really like John Cheever. I just got The Unbearable Lightness of Being on a rec from teacher man Mike, and Weetzie Bat by Francesca Lia Block. Also a DVD of 13 going on 30, but shhh, you didn't hear that from me.

Groooovy. I heart the New Yorker and those that write in it muchly, and after hearing what Cheever inspired in you all I think he's definitely worth a try.

Unbearable lightness was my CTY reading, along with life of pi and it is soooo yummy. But has sex in it! Bad teacher man mike! (ha ha).

Heavy lit always needs its... balance. Thirteen going on thirty, indeed :)

I've been reading some joseph heller lately. it goes down well and i think you'd like him. and of course, if you haven't read catch-22 yet, you need to do that right now.
