Two books - Milan Kundera




The Joke

Written by Milan Kundera (not Milan in Italy), this writer can be compared to Nobel Prize-acclaimed writers like Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Although it is quite a good read (no f-s, no vulgar language), it contains sexual innuendos that you might find laughable - literally or repulsive.

Well, I won't give out the plot unlike the three books before (albeit subtly)...


"According to Durex condoms’ global sex survey: “Czechs have sex as often as the French; they start their sexual life as early as the Dutch; and they fear venereal disease as little as the Italians.”"

Well, this was reported in the Newsweek article today, and it would be rather apt to use this to introduce the next book.

Laughable Loves by Milan Kundera

Did I forget to say that Milan Kundera is a Czech writer?

This book, is overly based on sexuality itself. It might be hilarious, but there are many instances of sexuality - enough to make you puke blood. Plot not described again, if you really have this kind of liking, take it.

Or then, be like me, and the next time you visit the library and learn to read the critic's reviews and the summary.
