today i finished the metamorphosis and other stories, by franz kafka. it was actually pretty interesting. all of the stories were short and unsettling, whether it was a man turned into a fly or an uncomfortable description of a execution "apparatus." to be honest i only had this book because we were supposed to read it in hodges and then i was going to read it over summer when we were in prague, but that never happened. when i actually got around to reading it it was much shorter than i had assumed and i actually enjoyed a bunch of short stories as opposed to a novel. i don't think his style is well suited for longer works. but if you are looking for some stories to slightly creep you out but leave you intrigued to understand more, kafka is for you.
(i'll work on keeping these shorter, we are reading way too many books to pain you with long descriptions haha)
on to my next book! huck finn or dogs of babel, i haven't decided yet.
