human voices

Penelope Fitzgerald. I like how she drops hints through dialogue, but this book, despite being less than 150 pages, was not as readable as The Bookshop or Offshore.

Milan Kundera, in audio . I hadn't read this since the summer of 1989. Beautifully written, well-translated, but possibly not well-translated, because I don't recall hating Tomas the first time around.
