This is the final boss of the English language; I was doubting my own knowledge of my native tongue. Nevertheless, it remains a classic with unfathomable depths that will stick in your mind for years to come.

A short delight, Pnin is a short, funny and heartwarming novel. Not Nabokov's finest work, and the ending was a little strange in my opinion, but it is a beautifully dressed hors d'oeuvre.
