The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera My rating: 5 of 5 stars There are books which feel like textbooks of philosophy and then there are books which you don't want to finish just because of the simplicity of its philosophy. This was one of the latter. The anachronistic storyline is very simple yet dark and it oozes the greatest and simplest philosophies of life. Milan Kundera is a master storyteller. Dealing with Czechoslovakia, communist regime, suppressed artists, physical attractions, love and loss, nudity and kitsch, the theory about human shit; this book hits all spot one wants. Totally worth all the hype it gets. View all my reviews
