I'd like to read my first Kafka novel, is "The Trial" the best place to start?

I had to read Kafka in school and track down places he went on a school trip to Prague so I´ve kind of reached my limit on him. I read The Metamorphosis and the trial. His style takes a bit getting used to but if you can accept his neuroses you should be fine. Start with the trial ( my Kafka favorite) . The other one is a bit weird with a man turning into an insect :-D

Oh, I forgot! Better read about his background, too. That´s kind of a must with this author. It gives you a better understanding of his style and works.

Yes. I really enjoyed the Trial, but my favorites are still "hunger artist" and "The Metamorphosis".

I'd like to read more Kafka. I've studied something about him, his background and his writing at school, I also read a part of The Metamorphosis (the one when the man turn into an insect..it was really weird!) but I didn't enjoy it so much..maybe that's just because I did that at school. But now I think I should give him another try and, after reading your post dorothy, I'd like to start with The Trial. I will pick it up next time I'll go to a library.

I also want to read Kafka, I bought the Trail and it's on my TBR list. I can read and read but i'll never get through all the books I want.
