“You need to watch the movie based on this book, just so that you can regret having watched the movie. On the other hand, I don't think any film adaptation could have done justice to this book.”

“This is a tremendous book and I'm thrilled that someone else has read it! If you've not read "Immortality", I would strongly suggest that one too.”

Interesting comment, although brief, I wonder if you can tell me more in your opinion of this book? I have seen it listed on some other profiles also! Do you recommend it, and why if so? Thanks.”

“Hmm, very interesting commenting here on your behalf! This is another selection which seems to be quite commonly placed on other profiles. The more I see this book pop up, and reading various comments, it has me so intrigued to see just what makes this author so superb? Would you recommend this reading to a female counterpart?”

“I went through a Kundera phase too when my children were young. I read many of his works and even saw the film of The Unbearable Lightness of Being, which I did not feel measured up to the book. :)”

PS. You have an excellent and rather catchy bio write up on yourself. Kudos!”

“Kundera is clearly a very fine writer. I had never heard of him, saw this book at a dusty library sale and remembered the movie with Day-Lewis, opened it up and knew right away that I had been blessed again to find a book that would move me. Did he write in English? I don't remember. I'll Google it later. If not, then the translator was excellent, too, which is not an easy trick. It's odd sometimes what makes for a great book. Think about "The Shipping News." Except for the head in the suitcase, there's no real... physical action. But as with the Kundera book and others... if you listen closely... they're saying "This story meant something to me, and I hope it will for you as well." This is a book (a "file") they'll load on the ship, ten billion years distant, that flees our exploding sun.”
