Fantastic resource for people with shaky Russian

Online text of Nabokov's Priglasheniye na kazn'; click on any word you don't know, and the English translation appears in a box at the bottom. Tremendous.

(Update: I arrived at the Nabokov through someone else's link, and didn't realise that the site's main page offers dozens of other works in the same format.)

To return to the topic of Nabokov's synaesthesia, and the condition in general: B. M. Galeyev is somewhat sceptical.
