Normally I find philosophical pieces like this awkward and heavy-handed, but here the bulky questions, the questions that normally make you groan "too deep, brain hurts" are delivered with grace and humour. <BR/><BR/>The one moment that will stay with me, however, is when Karenin gives Tereza that look (which resulted in much blubbering and grasping for tissues) and she knows, just knows, that no one will ever look at her in that way again. For me, even if every word was gibberish, this passage alone makes "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" worthwhile. <BR/><BR/>I hate to say it...*cringe*...but thank you for introducing it to me. On this book, at least, we can agree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213900898871503739.post-72844750105045675052008-06-15T22:30:00.000-07:002008-06-15T22:30:00.000-07:00Yay!
