.... I started reading yesterday ..... and it seems that this time I will be able to continue .... how interesting that Skvorecky actually himself mentions this unbearable sentimentality in regards to all things that meant so much in the past .... I used to cry as soon as I got to some passage in any book about Czech and how screwed up things used to be ... or as soon as I've heard some songs or music ... or any other quite unexpected trigger would do ..... I am better now I think ...... I must have 'matured' or something ... now that's a joke ....
