Great thing about Nabokov, he wrote in both languages... i read Lolita in Russian and english, honestly one is as good as the other.. which hardly ever happens in translated books. I consider Nabokov truly a master of written language.
Alas, I can only read and speak *one* language so I've read what Russian authors I have in English. I've read a lot of books in the 25 years since I read CO, and it's still one of the sickest, most twisted stories I've ever encountered. But I mean that in a good way...
