The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

So this is my second try at reading and enjoying Milan Kundera's work. I think he's an amazing brilliant writer but i don't think his stuff is for me. I much prefer the simple, uncomplicated brilliance of Hemingway to Kundera's in your face brilliance. I also can't help but feel that I'm reading different versions of the same book and if that's the case with all of his work I'd prefer to just re-read 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being'.

That said, it was a good read, one of those books that tempt you take to notes because you never want to forget the words that you're reading.
