I really love Milan Kundera. In The Unbearable Lightness of Being (which - what a title, right??), Kundera's talent for taking a concept and manipulating it to explore all possible avenues really shines. The concept of weight, something I was not necessarily interested beforehand, becomes the main vehicle for Kundera to weave hilarity, insight, tragedy, philosophy all into one story. Kundera is unendingly interesting, yet his style is so conversational and easy to read,and overall, highly recommend this book.
