Sometimes classics hit right and you understand why they are standing the test of time, and sometimes not at all. Unfortunately this is one of those lesser times. I hate the repetitive nature of his writing, you really need to know your philosophy and Eastern European literary critics (he throws a bunch of dead white men's names at you just to let you know he knows who they are). There are a lot of scenes with bodily fluids? Luckily this will 👇

ChaoticMissAdventures Probably not stick with me, I cannot imagine me remembering much of this very slim volume, where nothing much happens for very long. I was hoping to get a feel of Prague from it before my trip this week but now I am just hoping women are treated better today in Czech then this guy sees them. 3d

Oh no! This one is not for me. I normally like rambling existential books, and try to give things 50 pages but I am 15 in , have no idea what us going on - a guy found a book with funny writing and weird things are going to happen but only a couple of sentences a page seem to actually matter to the story. I have a bunch of other Prague books I need to get to so going to skip this, it was also my #doublespin

TheAromaofBooks Sometimes it's just good to find out a book isn't for you and get it off the list!! 1mo
Dilara Oh well. Let's hope you like your other books better 😁 1mo

It was beautiful this afternoon, not too humid, not too hot. I didn‘t want to go back to work after lunch. My current read.

I haven't been able to really dig into this yet, but I am so happy Glen and Marketa have reconnected to release more music. The couple songs I've heard are delightful. I have such great memories of seeing them around the release of their movie Once.

Slowness: A Novel | Milan Kundera

Is anyone else having issues with Litsy's website? I have tried multiple browsers and posts don't want to load; I get "Bad Gateway" messages while waiting for the comment area to load. If I do get the comment area to come up, it takes forever to post my comment or doesn't post it at all. The app seems to be okay. Any thoughts/is anyone else having these problems?

Bookwormjillk I‘ve been having issues with both versions off and on. It just seems sluggish. 6mo
Librarybelle I had some slow issues posting #NancyDrewBR posts a couple of days ago—I use the website to post the buddy read questions. Not the Bad Gateway issue, but things were very slow. 6mo
Jari-chan Same here. But the app works fine. 6mo

PuddleJumper Yeah, I've had a lot of problems when loading comments or tagging people. It usually sorts itself out but it's frustrating 6mo
lil1inblue I had to send in my phone for repairs, so I've been attempting to use the website. I can like posts, and it's hit or miss if I can comment. I cannot create my own posts - I get the bad gateway message. It's a little frustrating because this is really my only social media right now. 6mo

dabbe YES! Are you using the website instead of the app? I am, and it‘s driving me crazy! I‘ve emailed litsy@librarything.com with the issue and took a snapshot of the “bad gateway” message. I got a reply this morning saying they were working on it. Maybe if you sent an email, too, they‘d know it was a bigger issue. 6mo
dabbe @Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle @Jari-chan @PuddleJumper @lil1inblue Please send an email with the issues to litsy@librarything.com so they know that the website is having some serious problems. They did email me this morning and said someone was working on it, but maybe if they see it‘s quite a few of us, they‘ll work even faster. 🤩 6mo
Bookwormjillk @dabbe will do thanks 6mo
Bookwormjillk @dabbe will do thanks 6mo
lil1inblue @dabbe Thanks for the email address! I'll send one, as well. 👍 6mo
Jari-chan @dabbe Thank you. On it. 6mo
TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle @PuddleJumper @lil1inblue @dabbe - I think we're back!! I almost exclusively use the website vs the app because it's so much easier to track notifications, so I've been quite aggravated 😂 Denise, thank you for sharing the email address!! 5mo
Librarybelle Yay!! 5mo
Bookwormjillk Came online to test. Yay!! 5mo
dabbe @TheAromaofBooks YW! 🤗 I basically use just the web site, too, and I've been FLIPPED OUT this whole week! I think it's back, too. 🤞🏻 5mo
AnnCrystal Glad Litsy has returned 👏🥳📚💝. 5mo

Ignorance: A Novel | Milan Kundera
post image
Pickpick

This is a very touching depiction of how it feels to be an immigrant returning to your home country 20 or 30 years later. After the fall of communism in 1989 in Europe, Irena returns from Paris to Prague. She and others like her return led by nostalgia, but the ignorance, under all its forms, displayed by their relatives and former friends shows how absence can create a huge chasm between people, with no hope to reconnect with the past.
