Have you given _Ada_ a try?  I liked it about as much as I did _Lolita_, which
is very much indeed.  Also, _Bend_Sinister_, which for some reason is unknown
to even a lot of Nabokov addicts, dazzles in that same reflective/refractive
way characteristic of _Lolita_.  A few of the short stories do too.
