where I believe (correct if wrong) that he wrote Lolita. He had quite the brilliant mind, and pursued many, many interests.

Thanks for the tip on the autobiography-I'll be sure to read it.

  Robert Caro's Lyndon Johnson biography- Master of the Senate. May or may not hold any interest for Europeans, but Caro is a fastidious chronicler, in this case of a man whose person was far more 'grey' than black and white, and, also, of a certain political period in American history. Interesting read, and in the end will be 4 (large!) volumes.
  
  Frankly, way more 'Lyndon Johnson' than I need, but once I start, I feel an obligation to finish.

    Far more grey than B & W...I like that.
    As for finishing what have start to read, I know this feeling, awful, I resent the same, even if I crooked myself then, not reading very carefully and speeding as much I can..
    There are very few books that I put away, closing them for ever..
    We may be both wrong having too much respect of the written word..
