    Hey, how did you get there? Do you think if we shout all together the others will come out to play too? On three.... One, two, three......

    Vladimir Nabokov

    Sounds like we may be on to a winner - well the two of us anyway. Yoo hoo, where y'all at? What do you think? Is it to be Glory? Come out, come out wherever you are:)

    Does that mean you're up for 'Glory'. Do you sit among the clouds with Pontalba and Peder in owning just about 'eveything' Nabokov:D And please no Ada (right now) - you're so right our brains need a rest. A little relaxation not that Pnin wasn't relaxing.

    Vladimir Nabokov: Pnin

    I loved the scene with the squirrel. VN gave such a wonderful description of the event (naturally) that I could picture the scene with my mind's eye. We've got some playful and chatty squirrels around here so it made it even more believable;) And all I can say is at least this one didn't...

    Vladimir Nabokov

    Have we decided which book we're all going to read together/discuss yet? I've got three that I've not read yet: Glory, Ada, Invitation to a Beheading. Of the three I'd prefer to go with 'Glory' next. I've only glanced through it quickly and it looks interesting enough. Not that the others...

    Looking for a good novel with certain criteria...

    Have you read any of Diana Gabaldon's novels - the Outlander series. The first of the series 'Outlander' back cover reads: 'The year is 1945, Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon - when she innocently touches a...

    Vladimir Nabokov: Lolita

    Eating, supping, dreaming - What a place.

    Vladimir Nabokov

    Er, omniescient being not very good at making oneself understood - too much time spent in the company of Pnin methinks. I meant, dear woman, beam me up and over to your place:D Since you have the kettle on and I've run out of teabags and my next consignment doesn't arrive for another 7...

    Vladimir Nabokov: Pnin

    Enough of the bowing, where are my gifts? Chocolates wrapped in gold foil are rather nice - I especially like chocolate filled with lemon or orange flavoured stuff.:D And please do mind your back (after all I am on omniscient being who cares).

    Der.... 'Beam me up Scottie':p

    Vladimir Nabokov: Pnin

    I've got one word to say to you both (Peder and Pontalba): RASBERRIES:p Now do please behave cos I ain't got round to Ada yet. Hahaha - just had a thought: Two 'P's in a pod

    Bah humbug!! Just tried something and it didn't work. And me being a loyal fan:mad:

    Vladimir Nabokov

    Ooh you don't know how tempting that is;) If only I had my own set of wheels:mad:

    Book nerd level

    I can't pick up a new book (even second-hand) without gently fanning the pages and taking a sniff. And I keep a database of all the books I have but it's not an extensive one - mainly author, title, genre, date published, hard/softback. I also include books that I want to get too. And I...

    That's it!! I'm coming over!! Mind you I did find something left over from the storm....

    Vladimir Nabokov: Pnin

    Oh boy(d), oh boy(d), oh boy(d) - VN the author and narrator - why, oh why can't they have the same knowledge. Omniscient indeed - and one that likes to tease.
  18. Breaca

    Vladimir Nabokov

    Er, as if it wasn't bad enough that we're teased with a rub-down but now we get to drool over a cruller visually. And I polished off the last of the macademian nut and white chocolate cookies yesterday:mad: Must have a mad dash around the kitchen to see what I can find - otherwise I'm a...

    PPS: Have sniffed screen and licked screen.... Er, it didn't work Peder. Care to try that again. Or have you already scoffed the lot.

    Vladimir Nabokov

    PS: Is it coated in powdery white stuff - you know, sugar? Cos then it could be the same as a beignet. Which, by the way, go down a treat with a cup of hot strong black coffee.:D
