I think this book is very much worth discussing, so I'll try again to provoke some discussion.
What is the priest's parable (in chapter 9) about? I think it's about the elusiveness of meaning and the inevitability of incomprehension. I think the book, itself a parable, is about the same thing.
In a different vein, why does Kafka make Joseph such a jerk? How would it change the book if Joseph were more likeable or admirable?
