The Gambler.. reread. Doing a decent amount of rereads and it’s interesting to look at what I saw the first time as compared to sequential reads. Great work and it got stronger with my age and experience.

Heart of Darkness Conrad

One of my favorite books. Conrad was an amazing novelist, it's hard to believe that English was his second language

The book Never Enough by Judith Grisel and the two books I mentioned in my previous post are some of the best drug related books I’ve read.

Never Enough explains the basic neuropharmacology and neuroscience of the most commonly abused drugs. It’s an excellent place to start if you’re looking for a book that explains what is happening in the brain when you take drugs once, or repeatedly over time. The writer also shares personal stories and anecdotes regarding her own drug use.

So true.. where we are in life plays with great writing. rereading a great book can become a new dish sprinkled with an old loved spice.

Nesmrtelnost

I have read Kundera ~25 years ago. Maybe I should revisit him. All I remember is the title The Unbearable Lightness of Being (or, translated to my mother tongue - " Nepodnošljiva lakoća postojanja". I remember him as a good writer but was a teen when I was reading him. Will revisit.

Before this one i only read La Fête de l'Insignifiance (The Festival of Insignificance) from him, he wrote it in french, i think he came hear to escaped Staline's regime, he's fucking with him in this novel)
