Ah well, so be it. An interesting book, certainly.

This is why I love the Book Club. This is likely something I would never have read on my own. I hope I like it!

Actually, I was going to nominate Dante's Inferno, seeing you want to read about hell. But, I decided not to.

That's on my Reader, and I started to read it. That lasted about five minutes.

Has anyone seen Breon Mitchell's translation of The Trial in ebook form?
http://www.amazon.com/Trial-Franz-Ka...7043756&sr=1-2


I know the David Wyllie translation has the advantage of being PD, but I've been told that the Mitchell translation is many times better and that some things don't come through in the Wyllie translation.

Excellent! I've never read Kafka and my boyfriend has and said he enjoyed....hmm can't remember what it was that he read now...but I'm looking forward to it anyway! My eReader was shipped from the US on Friday so I should have it this week, and The Trial will be the first book that I read on it

Congrats! What did you buy/order? Kindle I'm guessing?

Kafka has a few well know stories -- The Metamorphosis in particular. In the Penal Colony is the one that always sticks in my mind (in fact I can't get rid of it and wish I could)

The David Wyllie translation is most certainly not in the public domain; it is a copyrighted work.

no, funnily enough I've ordered an astak ez reader pocket pro (I can't remember which of those letters was meant to be capitalized, so I've decided not to capitalize at all). I wouldn't mind a Kindle but it was beyond my budget.

Ah, thanks. The Pocket Pro is a fine ebook reader.
