Well, it's been awhile... I am typically absurdly busy during the summer and that has prevented me from posting a whole lot.

Anyhow, Speak, Memory has finally gotten a little bit more interesting. Nabokov has finally left his early childhood, and is now dealing with more exciting subjects like his family's flight from the Bolsheviks and subsequent exile. I didn't realize that he never went back. It helps explain why he seems so intensely interested in relating all those childhood memories.

While reading Speak, Memory, I did a rather unusual thing. I took a break from it and read another book! It was The Kid by Dan Savage. It was pretty light, but interesting.

Also in unusual reading news, I'm helping a friend from work start a book club. I'm not really sure how I feel about the whole book club thing, since I'm pretty attached to being able to select my own reading material, but I thought I'd at least give it shot.
