          <body><![CDATA[Very strange novel, probably one of the strangest I've read. Clearly the author was attempting something new here: he had a vision (the same way Kafka did) and he knew his book would not be as popular as, say, Netherland or the Brief, Wonderouls Life of Oscar Wao. The novel told the story of a young...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52220587">more...</a>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[Hey Thomas! Funny to find you on GoodReads. I guess you're a big fan of Kundera huh? I read The Unberable Lightness of Being and Slow a while back and liked them both but I haven't read any Kundera novel in recent years. I'll definitely have to check them out at some point. Btw, why don't you review some of the books you read. It would be fun to read your review; it's probably the most useful function of this site. I have been lagging behind in terms of updating my recent reads and reviews... Today is the first time I am on the site in months. It's fun to see you here. phuong anh]]></body>
