Looking for a novel from the 20th century? Please read the book by Russian-American novelist Vladimir Nabokov and his book Lolita

This photo was taken from Seward at the Alaska SeaLife Center. I posed in front of the mural "Widows to the Bay" by Liza McElroy. By far the most dazzling use of words by an author I've come across, Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. Thank you, Nicklas Remington Bajema for originally articulating (and the occasional facetious thoughts ) your admirable thoughts of one of your most favorite authors Vladimir Nabokov, to me during our time working together on the Celebrity Solstice cruise ship. A testing read dealing with a controversial subject matter expanded the value of knowing what is possible with the combination of the written language.

Favorite Quotes From Vladimir Nabokov

"I need you, the reader, to imagine us, for we don't really exist if you don't."

"Literature was not born the day when a boy crying "wolf, wolf" came running out of the Neanderthal valley with a big gray wolf at his heels; literature was born on the day when a boy came crying "wolf, wolf" and there was no wolf behind him."



"Literature and butterflies are the two sweetest passions known to man."
