I finished Nabokov's "Pnin" last night.

What a delight it was! Funny, clever, and oddly moving.

I would recommend getting hold of the Everyman's Library edition, as the introduction by David Lodge is both informative and perceptive.

Write What Haunts You: The Urgency of Unsettling Fiction

Author Patrick O'Dowd discusses why it's important to write what haunts you, as well as the urgency (and importance) of unsettling fiction.

I run a campus novel book club together with a colleague. We meet irregularly with a small group of colleagues and reflect on a book and its relation to our scholarship.

In December we'll discuss Mary McCarthy's 'The groves of academe' which is one of the earliest campus novels and one of my faves.

What's your favorite campus novel?
