I am looking for a book my friend recommended to me, The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. I’m looking forward to reading it. Recently, I reread Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer.  I first read it two years ago. I could read it over and over again, he is an incredible writer.  I like […]
