Yeah, it's one of my favorite books. What's most surprising is that a lot of his work includes references to homosexuality. Pale fire is for all intents and purposes gay literature, the main character and narrator is a homosexual. But knowing that he disliked homosexuals (despite his own brother being gay and dying in a concentration camp) puts a whole different spin on his work. :| He's still a genius and one of the best stylists of the English language...
