Kafka!

The Metamorphosis...

Worth a 30 mile drive/$5.40?

 

oh kafka is amazing. i read the metamorphases twice. i read the descrption of a struggle, wedding preperations in the country, the judgment, in the penal colony, a country doctor, a report to an academy, the refusal, a hunger artist, a little women, josephine the singer, or the mouse folk-excellent, the trial....endless i wish i could write like him.

 

I have yet to try and get my head around Kafka, which is a bit sad considering I am surrounded by a lot of his artwork etc.
Maybe I will read it one day.

 

what do you mean by getting your head around kafka? what art work did he do? didnt he just do little sketches and charicatures.

 

Please exscuse my confusion... I meant surrounded by Kafka inspired artwork.

 

i read metamorphosis and was more impressed with the idea of the story than how it was written.....i think i enjoy others' Kafka inspired works more - for example, anyone here watch the animated "home movies" series? in one episode they were working on a fab rock opera called "Kafka" - hilarious, and actually good, too!

 

He is great writer...
Really...
You should read "The Castle"...

 

My favorite book by Kafka was "The Trial" I'm still reading "The Castle" but I've taken a break from it because I'm reading like 15 other books aswell.

I don't know if anyone knows this but he wrote abunch of Aphorisims aswell. My favorite one that he wrote is::

"From a certain point on, there is no turning back. That is the point that must be reached."

Right on... but right forum section??
I suppose The Metamorphosis could be philosophical, but eh...
