First of all, Lolita. Nabokov is a god at prose. This is by far one of the greater novels I've read in terms of sentence composure. This man can write. It's a sad, disgusting tale about how a guy named Humbert Humbert tries to rationalize to the reader that what he is doing with a 12 year old girl is morally right. Don't fall into his entrapment.

Ulysses by James Joyce. Just do it, you know you've been 'meaning' to.

I gotta agree Joyce's Ulysses is a good choice tho.

You have to "P.S I love you". I loooooved that book. It's so much better. The movie is kind a bad, when you have read the book.

Fun fact: 95% of people who say to read Ulysses have either never read it or read it and didn't understand anything beyond the title

P.s.- Lolita wasn't that good and it grossed me out. Try Pnin if you found Nabokov to be your flavor.
