Switch to Gaddis

Why did they mis-advertise his work so goddamn much?

There was never really a sincere market for the kind of fiction Nabokov wrote so it had to be sold under false pretenses to get people reading.

I finished Ada a month ago before switching over to the recognitions...felt like a good fit. Highly recommend it.

The Luzhin Defense is a surprisingly enjoyable book. The autists here will love it, no doubt

Try the bed, very comfy imo. The bathroom is also a nice reading spot.
Read Pnin, his greatest novel. Or hit up his biography Speak, Memory.

Once you finish Ada you may as well stop there because you'll have read his best already.
