Nerdiness: The Unbearable Lightness of Being (by Milan Kundera)

This book changed my life about 22 years ago. Glad to see it's importance being weighed by another generation.

I read this book a few years ago. The author has sprinkled his thoughts and philosophy in various instances throughout the book. His philosophy takes precedence over the characters and one question he was trying to address (Or maybe he did address- I might not have caught that) was how much 'weight' did something which happens between people have. What really matters to the characters. How much impact does a person or an event have on someone else and the like. Need to read it again! :)

I'll have to think about that one for a while. Very interesting quote (and book). Been some years since I read it, though.

"To trully express oneself is very difficult, it is not suggested that you should not be in a state of love, but you can be in a state of love only if you drop the old mind pattern of relationships, love is not a relationship. Two persons can be very loving together, the more loving they are, the less is the possibility of any relationship, the more loving they are, the more freedom exists between them, the more loving they are, the less is the possibility of any demand, any domination."
