I have finished the book of "Laughable Love" by Milan Kundera. I prefer his short stories more than novel, since they are more compact. As short and intense as they are, Milan can still successfully described human's inner feelings with simple events or just a small paragraph.
It is definitely entertaining to read his books and you will be greatly impressed by his keen observation and understandings on human nature ( specially in a relationship ). I feel rather sad if what he portraits is the truth, but truth is always bloody disturbing, eh?

Yes I love his works too. He's so powerful in turning the 'unspeakable' or 'undescribeable' feelings of the inner reality of life into words and simple stories. Pity that I don't always have the time and mood to read, maybe this will be one of the reasons for seriously consider quitting my job soon. =P
No doubt, Kundera's great. And, I am a big fan of him. Nevertheless, in three of his books, "The Unbearable Lightness of Being", "Book about Laughters and Forgetting", and "Identity", his recurrent theme is infidelity in relationships. By the time I finished all these books, I thought what he wrote was a fair representation of the relationships in the world.
But it's not! Well, even if it is, dont be sad, tingting, for it should only make you are one of the few lucky ones, being able to love, and be loved at the same time. :)
