Quotes: “Love is the longing for the half of ourselves we have lost.” Also, if you’re an animal lover, you’re going to cry like a bitch at the end! mouhahaha So yeah, it’s a great book and you ought to have read something of Kundera at least once in your life. Oh and if my memory serves right, there’s a whole chapter-mind you it is short-on crap, so talk about getting on a tangent, right? It gets pretty interesting to read, honestly. Sometimes, you’ll have whole chapters where he’s just blabbing about stuff, and not talking about the story itself. So, basically, this is the story of their lives enfolding, and something really interesting about this book is how the narrator is present in his writing. You know, from the Tolstoy book? Keira Knightley’s in that movie, it just got out, Anna Karenina, you know, the bipolar? Though I’m getting sidetracked here! Nice love squary right? Oh! The dog is important too! She’s called Karenin, after Anna Karenina’s husband. You have Tomas, a womanizer, his wife Tereza, who really needs a bit more self-esteem, Sabina, who is Tomas mistress and BFF, and finally Franz who is in love with Sabina. Now, this is the story of four people that in some way are brought together.
It reads quite fast actually, because the chapters are short. It’s the kind of book that you kind of feel like you accomplished something after reading it. The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
