I started reading 'Unbearable Lightness...' when I was fairly young and found it a bit too stylised and clever. I may well have been wrong though.
Where should I start if I want to give Kundera another go?

I've only read The Farewell Party and The Book of Laughter and Forgetting. I probably enjoyed the latter more but it was definitely far more stylised so if you're wanting to avoid that then The Farewell Party is probably the one to go for. It reminded me a fair bit of Bohumil Hrabal, a sort of weird, melancholic, understated style of writing.

Laughter and forgetting was my fave at the time
Left me with some useful life long rules for living.Now readinr Why Dylan Matters by Richard F Thompson a Harvard Classics Proff..
A read not only for Bobcats but people interested in defining literature, good literature and classic literature.
(and don't moan about his voice Oliver there's a thread for that :)

Finally finished The Farewell Party by Milan Kundera. I'd highly recommend it, I've no idea why it took me weeks to finish it, it's only 180 pages.
