really easy read and the main character is a pathetic man who's only good at chess. pairs well with sunny afternoons and 2024 movie "CHALLENGERS"

- metafiction with a twist: the book presents as if it was a serious literary commentary (with footnotes and everything) of the last poem of a recently-murdered poet. but oh... never trust a nabokov narrator...
- perfect for internet sleuths, gossips, and folks who always think their partner is cheating on them and need another outlet for that energy: overthink this. it's how it's meant to be read. decode the footnotes, the glossary, the index, as well as the main text. really take your time with it. go on. you got the time clearly...
- raise eyebrows at the bus but only for good reasons: you can bring this baby outside no problem. get the sophistication of Nabokov without the "hmm reader with critical thinking skills or pedophile with no reading comprehension?" of Lolita.

(I'm recing it for the second time in 24 hours.)
Check out "The Idiot" by Dostoevsky. It's about Prince Myshkin, a genuinely good guy who returns to Russia and finds himself tangled in love and social drama. I just finished it yesterday and it’s so good—a deep dive into what it means to be truly good in a complicated world. Dostoevsky’s characters and insights will definitely stick with you. Totally worth the read!
