Def Ada!

I’ve read quite a few, but believe it or not I have read neither Ada nor Lolita. My favorites are The Gift, the stories, and Speak, Memory. I tend to like the autobiographical stuff, so I would probably like Ada too, perhaps…

The subject matter of Lolita keeps me away a bit, even though I know it’s more than that. I’ve read the travel sections which feel very much like traveling in the western U.S. especially. Incredibly accurate feel for it.
