@mush hahaha like i know people know the metamorphosis but the other books i couldnt remember. my favorite thing about the trial is that is took me like 5 different times of trying to read it before i could finish it lmao

@loren i can see that. there's an audio version of the castle i like, don't think i'd of read it otherwise.

my high school gf read part of the trial on to a cassette tape for me once.

i guess this is my "kafka diary"

@loren Not as well-known as The Metamorphosis. But it’s strikingly prescient about the Modern Condition™️

@loren Oh i checked Kafka's Trial out of the library last week and it's next in my To Read Pile! I knew of Kakfa but not this book. It came up in an essay about David Graeber and bureaucratic violence.

@loren

I studied this one for the baccalauréat (French high school degree). It's dark and administrative.

@loren I've heard of it but I've never read it.
