Reading Lolita in Tehran. Excellent book!
Lolita, must read simply because it's banned so often. The writing is amazing.
American Education by Joel Spring. Another great one.

Lolita is overrated. Pnin and Pale Fire are Nabokov's 2 best works.

Joe's girlfriend reads to me.

The one you're thinking off got married last year.

She wanted kids & marriage. I said no. So she met a new handsome guy that wasn't me & suckered HIM into marriage.

I feel like I got the better end of the deal.

I ended up dating a godless sexual prodigy for the next year or so.
