-m. kundera the unbearable lightness of being
i read this book when i was 18, at the time i hated it for i was very much into the sweet lightness of being.
read it again at 21 in a relationship full of shadows and hidden compartments and loved it for all the wrong reasons.
reading it again at (almost) 26 yrs old and about halfway done. hesitant to make final judgements until i am fully through, but the poetic nature of the novel is akin to my heart and brain eating filet mignon cooked in truffle oil: absolutely saturated with deliciousness and luxurious allegorical flavors.
