Nope but I've watched Jaromil Jires' adaptation of The Joke by Kundera. It was alright, bit boring. Not keen on most of the Czechoslovak New Wave stuff, all a bit samey.

Used to be a big fan of his.  I did my dissertation on him basically saying he was great when he had something to kick against but once he moved into exile it was just kicking against modernity and pretty dull.  Whinging about music being too loud in restaurants.

The film of the joke was pretty torpid, but I dont think he's easily filmable.

The Joke is on the Literature course too. Is it worth reading? How different is the book from the film?

Very political.  I like it, the plot is broadly the same but the important comments on the politics, relationships etc etc cant really come across in a bit of black and white czech new wavery.

Going to buy some coffee and realising the "Eco refills" cost exactly the same, gram for gram, as the glass jar. And who says big business isn't merely paying lip service to environmentalism to increase profits.

Ad a glass jar is recyclable. I doubt the plastic bag is after a couple of cycles.

Referencing is piss easy [1] and is a necessity. It shouldn't take more than 50 minutes max [2]

I just placed an online grocery order for the first time ever.  A combination of my computer freezing and not being able to find certain things meant it took the best part of 1.5 hours!

If you're doing Chicago style, referencing is a doddle as it's all footnotes, then copy and paste the detail from your bibliography (which is the first thing i write)
