He watched the smoke curl from his mouth. Feeling for an ashtray, he found a book at the side of the bed. 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being,' spine creased at the 'erotic' bits." ---page 9
because tv let me down tonight (a painful mavericks loss + american idol being really bad this year + tivo not recording the Grey's Anatomy finale - which ironically might have made the night not a complete television watching fail) i turned it off.
Instead, i grabbed the book amazon delivered on my doorstep this afternoon, filled a tub with bubbles and began reading until the bubbles dissolved.
the first chapter alone was a win and i can't wait to keep reading about dex and em (thank-you M for getting me on board before the film).
i giggled because Nicholls description of the girl? is not only the kind of way i wish to always be seen but it also made me blush.
and so i called my husband into the bathroom and read out loud that description knowing he would get it.
if you came over, i'd show you my copy of said book mentioned-- the unbearable lightness of being which i actually just finished reading-- sitting on my night table, pages creased and all.

It's one of the best books I've discovered recently...I'm sure a lot of girls can relate to both their characters surprisingly...the book is filled with such beautiful words that I was constantly smiling or aching..I hope you find a bit of yourself in the book :)
P.S : Milan Kundera, sigh !!
I've never heard of this book! Looking it up on Amazon right now!
Thanks for posting this!!
I can relate a lot to that description. In fact, "The unbearable lightness of being" is my favorite book :)
I am so glad you are loving it. Nicholls has such a way... I love him. xoxo
Great teaser! Just added this to my "to-read" list!
Reading in the tub has to be the best ever.
Happy reading!
I cannot wait to read this.
Hee hee you're adorable, perhaps we should make a photomontage of pictures of our battered copies of 'the unbearable lightness of being' as the next logical move? :D PS. I would jump at your swap proposal, but I think that Stella bear will be a bit awkward to ship, you'd need a really big bubble mailer and everything ;) xx
i read that book last year within a day. i loved it. some people from the book club i saw it from didn't like it. i guess i like stories like that because it is realistic. i wrote about it on my blog, but i can't remember when. feels like it's been so long.
