His works have become classics, like The Metamorphosis, in which a salesman wakes up transformed into a giant insect,

Max Bialystock (Reading plot summaries of scripts with the aim of producing an oversubscribed flop)"Gregor Samsa woke up one morning to find he had been transformed into a giant insect." Nahh, too good.

My feelings as well. There is more than enough Kafka in the world already. Kafka is like Mark Twain's descrition of a classic: A book which people praise and don't read.

I always liked Mark Twains quote “the lack of money is the root of all evil”

Had to read Kafka in college...I`d rather cut tobacco than read his work again
