Milan Kundera- The book of Laughter and Forgetting

The Book of Laughter and ForgettingThe Book of Laughter and Forgetting by Milan Kundera
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I bought this book to give to my grandmother. Thank God that He gave me the inspiration to read it first. I don't understand the obsession of modern and contemporary writers to not only use but abuse of pornographic and deranged sexual activities images in their writings. Why does it have to be so explicit? It's like these tv shows that only want ratings and using sex is the best way to do it. They don't care about developing the human society, they only care about them getting as much money as possible, no higher goals. I read books expecting to find out more, to enrich myself, to get away from this self destroying world. And I stumble on books like this. If I want pornographic images I will read Sandra Brown. I don't expect to read the same thing from a high=rated author. I think Kundera had some interesting ideas in his book but I just couldn't pass over those images that got stuck to my brain. What is he trying to teach the public ??? Does a good author need to make use of shocking sexual images to attract the public like a bad television ? It's this the public he wants? I would like to give him another chance and read something else written by him but I don't have the courage right now. I don't want to buy another book like this that I will probably burn it. I want to have in my house books that I can recommend to my future kids to read and this I cannot.
