Hello.
I love this man's work. I don't know why, and even though I could find out, I don't think it's that important. His books are just fascinating to me, for whatever reason.
I usually can not sit through literature. The only other author I could sit through was Dostoevsky.
What can I read similar to Kafka?

That's a broad question because Kafka is admired for many reasons, so you probably should figure out why you enjoy his work so much. The last almost century of fiction has been inspired by it directly or tangentially. We could be here all day.

Sopranos was pretty good
Just bought The Complete Short Stories. Is there a particular reading order OP or anyone else would recommend?

Thomas Bernhard? (or/and Beckett)
his letters are phenomenal

I wouldn' say there's a particular reading order. Just read what you think sounds interesting first.

Literally everything is fantastic. Even Beziehung is good, though not very Kafka. I recommend Metamorphosis, Penal Colony, and The Trial because they will make you want to read everything.

Gogol's short stories, Nabokov's "The Eye" and "Invitation to a Beheading," Daniil Kharms's "Today I Wrote Nothing," and maybe some of Zoshchenko's short stories.
I just bought his diaries, it was a cheap buy. Are they great?
Borges
