So I really like the title of this book. I think its a really beautiful image... the unbearable lightness of being. I love it!
As a whole I really liked the book. There was lots of philosophical thought and questioning that I really appreciated. The characters all knew themselves really well and had good reasons for all the things they did and I thought that was cool. It makes me wonder if real people know themselves so well, I don't think I ever will.
It talked about everyone needs to be watched and how there are four kinds of people. First there are the people that need lots of eyes on them of people whom they don't know, the people that want to be famous and have lots of attention. Second there are the people that want lots of eyes on them that they know, the very social people that also require a lot of attention and need to know that people they care about are watching them. Third are the people that need the constant eyes of a lover. (Laura) Finally there is a rare group that needs the eyes of someone that may or may not exist or be watching them, more like the idea that someone is watching them that they don't know about.
So Laura gave me this book to read and she read it for her little mentor class but I'm wondering what class did you read this for? Because there was a whole lot of sex... also we need to rent the movie even if it is porn because I know you like that anyways Laura. Don't be shy. It's only natural. Don't you want to feel my bones on your bones! (not my bones on yours but well, you know the song nevermind)

I'm glad that no one else really reads this blog, or they would probably be weirded out. Not that that would be bad or anything.
I really did read it for my mentor class. I guess the professor figured they were big tough freshman and could handle the sex scenes.
I enjoyed reading them during band rehearsal...
FINE WE CAN RENT THE MOVIE. and across the universe!
OH i'll check at the library! I've been meaning to go there.
Terri...I think we can't say which person you are at the moment, because you haven't really been in love you said, so I don't know yet if you are that third type of person.
I would say you are either that or the 4th.
You always are tlaking about how no one read this!!
STOP GETTING THINGS FROM THE LIBRARY!! jk... I like that you cheat the system... only sometimes though.
I think it's pretty safe to say I don't want ANYone watching me all the time. With the exception of your father of course. Is that getting old yet?
