Nabokov is fucking great. Lolita is a great place to start, total gem of a novel. Despair or Laughter in the Dark are also good starters.

Pnin and Speak Memory. Pnin is a sly comedy. Speak memory a sly memoir.
Edit to add.. White Noise and Pnin are books twinned together in my mind because of the alternate views of out of the way US Colleges.

Has anyone read any Vladimir Nabokov? I've just finished reading a few of his short stories and thought they were great. I guess Lolita is probably the place to start?
