Book pileRecommended over and over to me by all walks of bookphiles. My next book. I want to like his work but after this and Perdido Street Station I have to conclude he is not for me. Slogging through this. Brilliant but tough. A "page a day" kind of book. Reading this now and almost done. Lovely book. No plot, no story, absolutely wonderful book. So tranquil. Read it if you need a time out from city life. I am off to Namibia on Thursday and a friend lent me his Lonely Planet and this guide. Thanks Xavier. It won some or other prize and I have to admit the jacket cover is alluring. Read this years ago. Hard, but worth it! ;) Read the French translation about four or five years back... Kundera has since published novels written directly in French. See the film... Juliette Binoche is wonderful. And Kundera has also supervised the new translations of his old non-french novels. Anyway, I love this guy and his views on the world. Mostly cynical, for sure... as me ;-) And the film of Philip Kaufman is a ...jewel... one of my fav :)  Inspired by Agnieszka's photo which was inspired by Damon's photo.
This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.
I too, am a book addict. I have no plans to combat my addiction nor do I plan to have any. I acknowledge it, I accept it, I live with it, I feed it, I rejoice in it. Comments

Paul, did you really get through Ulysses?
[edited for typos] I am very taken with the visual joke of the way you aligned the Kundera. In the US, I don't believe it issued with a white cover, and that design makes the photo set-up all the better.
