How do you rate a book like this? Hmm. Did I enjoy it? Not especially. Am I glad I read it? Quite a bit. This is one of those works that has become a part of our discourse, and I feel better prepared for the conversation at large now having read it. I'm also glad that I read this for a book club, be...

I never read this book in school, although I would have liked to. (Yeah, I'm weird like that.) I knew what the metamorphosis in the title referred to, the main character changing into a bug, but... I was surprised because I kinda felt that that was the least important facet of the book. I mean, one ...
I think Kafka purposely chose a cockroach. Can you think of anything more loathsome? The perfect thing to elicit horrific reactions. You may be shouting beetle but I still insist it was a cockroach.I won't attempt to do any more analysis than that as it's been done to death although I was surprised ...
