Be honest now, have you finished any book?

I love Kafka and this amongst his weakest works.

You should try again. I wasn't crazy about it but the final chapter had me in tears.

DESU, none of his novels grabbed my attention very well. I still love him because of the short stories, though

>bored by Kafka
plebs get off my fucking board.

I love Kafka but I will admit all the dialogue can be quite tedious at times.

The Trial was alright. The castle was really really fucking boring but looking back at it it does add to the story.

For me the book I wanted to finish but couldn't was the Iliad. Can't be bothered to care about noble 'insert name here' son of someone of some place that got killed by mighty random dude son of his father by inspiration of random God that loved him for reasons.

I got a third of the way through this, and even tho I liked Kafka's prose, I couldn't stand the character of Josef K. Gregor Sampsa was insufferable too but at least he was relatable. None of Kafka's books are especially "enjoyable." to read.

Neuromancer. Was loving it, but couldn't get even halfway. Twice. Still will finish it eventually, I hope.

The Trial I didn't have a problem with because it's pretty short, even though it drags.

This is probably the worst book to read as a teenager. It will give you a serious persecution complex

Disagree with his politics, pretty much ruined it for me (how the fuck does that work?)

Nicomachean Ethics, after 6th book he is just repeating himself.
