The Unbearable Lightness of Being, by Milan Kundera

This is the second Kundera book I have read, and I just love him! This book was no exception. The story was pretty simple, and one thing I loved/hated about it was the repetition. I am of two minds of this because I thought it was kind of cool how everything kept coming back around to the same things, but at the same time, I was like "Oka, I get it...baby in a bulrush basket..let's move on!!" But it is one of the things Kundera does, repetition, and he does it well. The story follows on couple, and a few people (plus a dog), who surround them in their relationship. It is a very quick read, because it is written simply, but that does not make the content whatsoever simple. It is actually very easy to get lost because of the simplicity. I found myself constantly re-reading a passage because I missed something, even if it is a repetition, you miss something by just breezing over. This book takes a close read, and I think maybe if I read it again, I will get a lot more out of it, just the way I felt with the first book I read from him, "Ignorance". After two readings of this book I felt like I enjoyed it the first time, and understood it better the second time.
