say hi to milan kundera!
im reading his books now days
and i like him alot.
and ppl were like "REALLY? U LIKE MILAN KUNDERA?"
like as if its EW... is it????
i dont get it
i love his style of writing, very analytical and psychological
very reasonable, erotic, interesting, kind of grotesque, kind of stereotyping...
but very very... true
i really like studying human behavior and how certain people's mind work
it is kind of like.. little things when you see how someone behaves
very slight things
where u can tell
"oh he/she has unresolved issues with his mother"
"oh that person , sexual deviant!"
"oh that person probably goes home and revises their conversation
e.g. im going to say this when i introduce myself at dinner today"
"oh that persons wanting me to think in a certain way. "
or even scary things like
"were you fat when you were a child?"
"did you grow up in this kind of environment?"
like milan kundera's books totally talking about things like this for every character in his book
he pretends to like explain the character, but actually its kind of trying to make people understand
how one behaves, due to usually certain kind of history/environment
and also the beauty of analytical thinking.
im beginning to think, maybe, milan is very analytical because
by analysing things,
he feels secure.
but really he knows that things can still be threatening
even when you feel like it is deeply understood through analysing and prediction.
and even this whole book by the writer, who is analytical
is also an analyses of a certain case study?
and the case study is milan kundera.
which also goes back to the everlasting forever repeating human nature
like in the movie Amadeus, mankind always praises for eternity, forever lasting
"fire that never dies"
like in the Greek legends, where people do certain things to leave their names behind
so in music, art, literature, architecture (ESP!), fame, glory, power, idolizing, history is all
going back to the same theme
wanting to be remembered
for eternity
even after death
to be a legend
even after
centuries and centuries have passed.
WHY????????????
so childish/sentimental reason in the end
"i want people to remember me even when im gone"
and i like him alot.

the unbearable lightness of being is one of my favorite books of all time. you make me want to re-read it again. i thought it was a so beautiful and light treatment of so heavy and complicated feelings and topics.
"the unbearable lightness of being" changed my life when I was reading it in England. it seems like the perfect book to read in brooding, dark weather (especially when the sun goes down at 4PM). omg, i think i fell in love with you when you were doing "model diaries" and you said you were reading tolstoy. you should read "the kindly ones" by jonathan littell if you get a chance. i think you'll like his writing style. :)
DAUL MARRY ME AHHH
i love kundera. i read The Unbearable Lightness of Being and liked it so much that I read Laughable Loves & The Book of Laughter and Forgetting right after.
I think people have mixed reactions because he is pretty misogynistic. Still I loved his books. Although all three were quite similar, so no need to read them all unless you're totally and utterly into them.
i read unbearable lightness halfway and since then, it was left hanging. i feel so bad saying this, but i really like his works tho.
try Fernando Pessoa. brilliant poet/ writer you can probably identify with too. i have two of his books and they are like my bibles.
i can't wait to read him.
I remember you.
berlin
i do too
how is it that we're both going through daul's entries this week in may? peace.
you'll always be remembered in our hearts.
you are remembered
And we still miss you... 울 이쁜 다울언니 너무 보고 싶다
<3
We remember you Daul . Wish you didn't leave us so soon . :( but great things escape fast I think also do you know you're a lifepath #9 . I think that's explains a lot . Xo
