Bohumil Hrabal: I Served the King of England This was the first ever book from Hrabal I read. I have seen the movies ’Closely Observed Trains’ and ’Cutting It Short’, but somehow I assumed I wouldn’t like his style. I was wrong. This one is wonderfully written, and although it doesn’t seem that way, it has a lively flow, and really good editing.  Now I am about to watch the movie sometime, made by Jirí Menzel in 2006.
