While on vacation I read Count of Monte Cristo... very interesting. I started reading Metamorphosis BUT I am putting that on hold to read East of Eden. I'll finish it in about three days. I usually stick to European literature, but lately I've been making exceptions.

If you get caught up in wondering why Metamorposis, indeed all of Kafka's work, is the way it is, look for the works of Max Brod, who saved work that Kafka wanted destroyed at his death, and had an insight into Franz's thinking.
