The Trial by Franz Kafka 🔖🔖


This book was hard for me because I related so well with the character. It's a nightmarish story, really, of "Joseph K, a respectable functionary in a bank, who is suddenly arrested and must defend his innocence against a charge about which he can get no information". His confusion, frustration, and absolute helplessness were so tangible and too close to heart for me. So while this is on my "couldn't finish" shelf, it's not because it was boring or poorly written, but that the character drew me in perfectly.
