Kundera


There were times when somebody asked me about my favourite book. I couldn't answer...I felt that I am less than others. The time wore on and now I can pridefully say I also have a favourite book. And I didn't do anything for it.

How did this book find me? I got it from my room-mate in the summer of 2006, and I almost became an addict:). The title was: Immortality, written by Milan Kundera. To say the truth I haven't heard about him until that point.

I'm not sure anybody will understand me without reading something from Kundera, but this book is a kind of “I can't tell you the content, you must read it”-type novel. The whole story begins with a gesture of a woman, than we hear a conversation between Goethe and Hemingway in the heaven, and the death pervades the whole story...

And one last thing: I've never wanted to reread a book, this was the first time when I would like to do this...

I love Kundera, the first book what I read by him was The Unbearable Lightness of Being, and I loved it, so I started to read more of them, I almost became a Kundera-addict:D Anyway, I like Immortality, it's one of my favourite ones:)

You made me curious. I haven't heard about Kundera before I'm going to read something written by him.
