感谢分享这个。我永远忘不了读《Speak, Memory》时的感受。（！）开头几句或者开头附近的段落是纳博科夫对死亡和出生的冥想，以及它们是何其相似。他谈到在我们出生之前，我们并不存在……这感觉有多奇妙……
Thanks for sharing this. I'll never forget reading Speak Memory. (!) The opening sentences or somewhere near the opening ones concerned Nabokov's meditation on death and birth and how alike they are. He talked about how strange it is that before we are born, we aren't…
随口提几个我立刻想到的：Tracy Kidder 的《The Soul of a New Machine》 D.F. Wallace 的《A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again》 弗拉基米尔·纳博科夫的《Speak, Memory》 John McPhee 的任何作品 Edit：调整格式

……他的任何书吗？我从高中开始读了大量的纳博科夫，一直持续到我的大学阶段（我最初是俄语专业的）。纳博科夫读起来非常引人入胜。我喜欢《Speak, Memory》http://www.amazon.com/Speak-Memory-Everymans-Library-Cloth/d... 还有他的文学批评随笔（我刚才在 Amazon 上搜了一下没找出来，但你应该能搜到……
…any of his books? I read a lot of Nabokov beginning in high school and continuing into my university studies (when I was initially a Russian language major). Nabokov is very interesting to read. I like Speak, Memory http://www.amazon.com/Speak-Memory-Everymans-Library-Cloth/d... and his essays on literary criticism (which I'm not turning up just now as I do an Amazon search, but which you should be able to find…
William Least-Heat Moon 的《River-Horse》。精彩地记录了一次穿行北美水系、从大西洋到太平洋的经典特立独行之旅。弗拉基米尔·纳博科夫的《Speak, Memory》。回忆录艺术的巅峰之作。纳博科夫对英语（他的第 5 门语言）的运用驾轻就熟，简直让我难以置信。Jack Vance 的《Lyonesse》。Vance 是 20 世纪最伟大的文体家……
River-Horse, William Least-Heat Moon. It's a wonderful account of a classically idiosyncratic journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific, through the waterways of North America. Speak, Memory, Vladimir Nabokov. The pinnacle of the memoirist's art. I find it nearly uncreditable, Nabokov's facility with English, his 5th language. Lyonesse, Jack Vance. Vance is the greatest stylist in 20th century…
……读纳博科夫。你本以为是在读一个故事，结果完全被他语言里的感官层面所震撼。尽管《Lolita》是他最著名的作品，但他写的精彩作品远不止于此。《Pale Fire》、《Speak, Memory》、《Real life of Sebastian Knight》…… 2. 我的第二个想法是，母语非英语的作家/作者词汇量极其丰富，描写能力极强。英语并不是一种感官丰腴的……
…reading Nabokov. You expect to read a story and you are entirely bowled over by the sensory aspect of his language. Even though Lolita is his most popular work, he has written so much more. Pale Fire, Speak, Memory, Real life of Sebastian Knight.. 2. My second thought is that authors who are non native English speakers/writers have remarkably rich vocabulary that is super descriptive. English is not a voluptuous…
……Fire》，但或许没有充分强调它和 Dick 的小说一样，非常非常搞笑（同时也充满悲剧色彩）；如果你还没读过它（以及《Lolita》、《Pnin》还有他的自传体作品《Speak, Memory》等），那你真应该读一读！至少，你能开怀笑几次。
…Fire", but perhaps does not stress sufficiently that, like Dick's novels, it is very, very funny (and tragic); if you haven't read it (and others like "Lolita" and "Pnin" and his autobiographical work, "Speak Memory"), you owe it to yourself to do so! At the least, you will have some laughs.
