What I'm reading right now is Martin Amis's Money. Funny, caustic, and disturbing, with a few near-Nabokovilian references (from a reference to a dedication that makes sense within the novel, but also outside of it ("to Vera"), as well as repeated but sideways references to Pale Fire--maybe--such as "Timon of Athens" appearing on a bookshelf (p 67), a couple of overly effusive paeans to his car (a Fiasco) that sound suspiciously like Kinbote's, as well as a tiny valentine to the narrator's "small but powerful refrigerator," plus a bodkin mention (pages 72, 74, respectively)... So maybe, who knows.)

Regardless: fantastic novel so far. The best Amis I've read since The Information, many years back.

The Golden Compass? Even better on a second read. I can't wait to read the second volume.
