The Metamorphasis was a nice quick read, especially for a classic. If you are a fan of Flannery O'Connor,  you would like it. There are a lot of unlikable characters who don't have a sense of self awareness, and we get to watch then react to strange circumstances.

I feel like this should speak to me a bit more plotwise- but, I mean, in terms of characters, that's me!! He's literally me in so many ways!
