Mags, Malraux, Pasternak, the start of Nabokov

I've read an issue of The New Yorker, one of The New Scientist, one of Esquire, two of Eclectic Reading, and one of The Economist. I've also finished the second volume of the complete works of Malraux -- actually the third volume, with the second on its way, and the complete works of Pasternak. He's known in Russia for his language-stretching poetry, but here he is knows for writing Dr. Zhivago. I'd seen the movie so often that I was comparing it the whole time. The book is, as you might expect, a lot more subtle. I'm now reading the Cambridge Companion to Nabokov, as a prelude to reading his complete works.
