The quintessential Kafka. Read it to impress my then girlfriend (now fiancé, so it went well).
You should be in the mood to read something slow when reading this, because it's (from my point of view) kind of the point of the book, where the main character is sent back and forth in a seemingly endless bureaucracy.
The biggest pro of this book is that, when you've read it, you can use the comment "Well, this is just kafkaesque" and actually know what it means.
