Ok I'll admit it - I wasn't too pumped on The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton...it just never got good for me. So, still planning on reading the classics, I'm going to try my hand at The Trial by Franz Kafka. The edition I have is paired with The Metamorphosis by him, as well, so I'll probably be reading both. This is supposed to be dark and disturbing, which will be an awesome switch from the Victorian-Age romances like The House of Mirth (I'm just not down with that stuff....give me crazy people and murderers)...can't wait :-)
