I just ordered this book as an introduction to Kafka, and for general enjoyment. Did I fuck up?
Kafka and Lovecraft are so reddit every time I try to read them I black out and make some tacos XDD

Sorry apparently half of this forum is retarded and doesn't actually read.
No you didnt fuck up. Pick up the trial as well. So beautiful... if only he completed it

Reddit, go back to

Thanks for the input, it was an impulse buy.
Great choice.
If you like it, you should read "The metamorphosis" as well. The pariah-side of Kafka is much more apparent in it.

not at all, Kafka was a genius. shame that he didnt want his work to be exposed. i hope you like his work!
If you are depressed, yes. If not you probably will be, but it's nice to look at, I have the same edition/ cover.

thank you, I assumed buying any work of Kafka's would be a good idea. This copy was only 13 dollars on amazon so I thought It would be very worth it.
>>7585205
coulda gotten it used from abebooks in good condition for 10 bucks including shipping, but that's nothing compared to the enjoyment you'll get from such an incredible writer.

I've never looked on abebooks before, but thanks for recommending it. There are some books I can't find on Amazon which hopefully I can find with this site.

ho, ho ho ho. look what we got here boys
in a seminar around everything (letters and marginalia included) that Kafka ever wrote. honestly you could just talk about 'Vor dem Gesetz' for a few hours alone and it's 1 page long, by no means did you fuck up this is some of the richest literature modernism had to offer.
DAILY REMINDER THAT KAFKA IS NOT THE BEST THING SINCE YOU FOUND PORN.
YOU WILL MOVE ON FROM THIS FANATICAL MASTABATORY OVER A DEAD GUY ONCE YOU START READING MORE.
NO HE DOES NOT HAVE THE "LEL THE BESTEST INSIGHTS INTO HUMAN NATURE OF ALL TIME AND FUNNY AS HELL ON TOP IT ATST".
You fucking pleb.
