That's why the stories of Kafka are timeless =)

 

Hahaha! I have a love/hate relationship with Kafka's works.

I am rereading Nabokov's Lolita right now.

The Men Who Play God: A collection of ten stories by A.B. Rotor

[bluegreen717]

Free to Choose by Milton Friedman. Paperback, secondhand, from Book Sale. Thirty bucks. A timely read, much more a timely find. May his soul rest in peace.

I'd like to go back to a lot of classics too but oftentimes the Victorian style of writing is a real pain in the ass to read. Kafka is another matter altogether.

Try reading Bram Stoker's Dracula. Its an Epistolary Novel. That is, you understand the story from reading newspaper clippings, diary entries, police reports and the like. It's truly and extraordinary read. :mtc:

Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and spread of Nationalism by Benedict Anderson

[bluegreen717]

Unabomber: On the Trail of America's Most-Wanted Serial Killer by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker.

 

It probably would have been better as a docu-film. Not enough of a backgrounder on Kaczynski, though, but his manifesto's in the appendix. (Not an easy read, but very, very interesting.)
