There is a love story, but that's not the major idea and people who talk about that have obviously not read the 2/3 of the book that has little to do with the love story.
And there is a quote right on the front that says "One of the greatest love stories ever told." I was starting to wonder about you.
So...what is the decision on the main book club?

We're happy with that...I was trying to make sure we didn't fracture things too much.

Are you guys going to recommend a particular translation of each book for us non-Russophones?

Uh...I hadn't thought about that. I will try to find out which translations are better.

I would recommend the Max Hayward/Manya Harari translation.

Good thing that translation is the main one available in the US (the tradeback form)

No, actually the plot in the movie and plot in the book are quite different.

Hmmm. Since the majority are reading it in English, I suppose I should too.

Rebekah says there's a good reason for it to be in December. So I'll just go with the plan. *NM*

Actually, I'm not sure what the reasoning would be, other than to space things out.

Maybe. I've never been interested in finding out what an Audible is.

All of Nabokov's significant work was written in English while he was living abroad.
