Book Log

36. The Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka
"When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin."
Classic surreal short story.

37. The Meowmorphosis - Franz Kafka, Cook Coleridge
Quirk Classic version of the above - this time Gregor wakes up as a kitten. Did nothing for me.

38. A Dance with Dragons - George R.R. Martin *
Latest but not last book in the Game of Thrones series. There are many final twists at the end of the book which made me wish I saved those last few chapters until the next book shows up. Still a great story.

I just read the first one in the series. Excellent - but way long and complex!

yes, I have the others on-call from the library. :)

Tricky question... It is well pretty dark and depressing, so not really an enjoyable read. But it is well done and pretty surreal. (And pretty short too - usually padded out with other stories and expert analysis)
