I read “Pnin” by Vladimir Nabokov. In the early 1950s, Russian immigrant Professor Timofey Pnin has a precarious teaching job at a small American university, and suffers numerous comic misadventures. This is a very funny, and often very moving book, written in beautiful prose.

I saw the 1972 film “The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie”, directed by Luis Bunuel, in which six wealthy friends make repeated attempts to have dinner together, but their meals are always disrupted by bizarre and unexpected events. It’s often very funny, and still very sharp.

I finished reading “The Great When” by Alan Moore. London, 1949, hapless bookseller Dennis Knuckleyard finds a mysterious book that introduces him to a bizarre alternate world. Soon Dennis is thrown into London’s occult underworld. It’s an imaginative and often very funny urban fantasy.
