Posted by boxer_dogs_dance

Hello book club readers!

This month we are reading a classic, the Metamorphosis by Kafka. How is it going? Have you started?

I'm finishing up some other books but will start soon. I've never read this one and I'm looking forward to reading it.

    I've read it before (in college) so I will probably lurk when it comes to the discussion this time.

    I haven’t started yet. I’m excited though, this book club + my new library membership have started getting me to read again. Will start The Metamorphosis after finishing To Save and To Destroy.

    I finished it a few weeks ago, right after Fire on the Mountain. Even though I'd never read it before, I sort of knew the basic premise of the novel just through cultural osmosis, but even knowing the premise it still surprised me. So I'm excited to discuss it and also see what other people thought about it too.

    I have also read it before but did read it again earlier this week (after taking a bit longer to finish The Truth than I expected). It is just how I remember it, and at least it's a pretty short read relatively speaking.

    I unfortunately had to sit out The Truth due to real life busyness, but this one’s short enough that I shouldn’t have a problem getting through it.

    I read it way back in high school, but I honestly don’t remember much of anything about it, so I’m looking forward to revisiting it.

    Anyone have a particular English translation that they’d recommend? I know there are several different ones available.
