Franz Kafka

Anybody else here love Franz Kafka? I have just finished reading The Trial and The Castle plus the Metamorphosis short story and I was so impressed. I'm about to start reading his Letters To Friends, Family And Editors collection now.
ITT: We discuss how amazing Franz Kafka is.

Read the short story, In the Penal Colony, which is about a method of execution whereby a prisoner is killed by having a description of his crime cut into his skin by a giant machine.

I fucking love that story.
And has anyone picked up the Kafka kinda biography by David Zane Mairowitz and drawn by Robert Crumb? It doesn't really get deep into Kafka, but it Crumb does take a lot of Kafka's stories and make comics out of them, which is interesting if nothing else.

i meant that he wasn't part of a required reading course or something of that ilk and i'm glad, because being forced to read anything is not as conducive to enjoyment or understanding as the act of picking a work one's self. especially when it comes to tales like 'Metamorphosis' or 'The Trial'.
instead i chose to immerse myself in Kafka's worlds of my own volition so the resultant mental scarring is entirely and equally my own responsibility.

Don't change these.
