 I never read any of Dostoevsky, Kafka, Nietzsche and the likes. 

Keep hearing about how great their books are. 

If you would suggest a book for me to start with which one would it be?

 Kafka is good, really good and appropriate for the times. “The Trial” maybe.

 I read the metamorphosis by Kafka. It’s a super small book and it’s impressive how he describes something impossible to happen but so vivid in his book!
