Personal: February 2008 Archives

I'm currently reading some Nabokov, in translation of course, this one is 'The Luzhin Defense'. (Interestingly the spell checker I'm using recommends that I change Luzhin to Zucchini!) It's a moody book so far, I'm only 4 chapters in, but I'll be interested to see how much more different the book will seem to the film by the end. It's about chess... (Deliberate homage to Woody Allen's speed reading joke about 'War and Peace'. Actually I just mistyped that as War and Piece, which would have been quite a good title for the Luzhin novel!)
