"I totally forgot I read this. Why did I read this? (it's a very thick book half on Nabokov's obsession with butterflies, and half a very scientific account on the specimen's which I DID NOT read; I read this to research monarch butterfly migrations for a screenplay, what i took from this esoteric read was that mostly maniacs collect butterflies. Duh."
