Bloody roar

betcha fifty dollars i'm a man i'm a scholar
i'm turning into a bug

>Chock full of "lateral thinking" symbolism that really means jack diddly

Braid

there's plenty overrated garbage out there, it's hard to pick a specific one

the man turns into a bug
what is "lateral thinking" about that?

Kafka is literally the Dark Souls of literature

The villain from ff6 wrote a book?

>the man turns into a bug
Counterpoint: Nuh uh

you have to constantly reread pages in a pointless trial and error process to progress in the book? what

Man doesn't want to go to work.
Family proceed to hate him for it for some reason, they even fucking kill him.
Moral: Kafka's family was shit lmao.

There's actually a game based on it: youtube.com/watch?v=ki6tmWqQz5E

Isn't it just metaphor for people who became handicap and burden for their families?

But he was OK the day before.
I think it implies that the guy just became tired of his life and just wanted to do other things, but the family economy depended on him so they hated him for it and began to see him like a monster.

this was a very kafkaesque post.

>But he was OK the day before.
So?
When you fall and break your back you were ok the day before too

You can become ill in one day even if you seemed fine just yesterday. Got a stroke and boom, you're handicap. Happened in a family I know.

Yeah I guess you're right.
Still, what a boring book. I should read his other works though.

The Metamorphosis predicted NEETs. Read it like the main guy is a filthy fucking weeaboo and it's eerily accurate

I haven't read the book for ages but doesn't the sister try to look after him until she can't take it anymore? The handicap burden metaphor sound more appropriate than the lazy slob metaphor.

Isn't this a Resident Evil Revelations 2 thread?

>main guy is a filthy fucking weaboo NEET
>sole providing for his useless fucking family
I unno, I don't see your point. But it's been some years since I've read it.

Killer is Dead?

>reading books

holy shit lmao, can't wait til every library shuts down and all the gay ass books are burnt to ash

filled with garbage from the minds of dead white men

>holy shit lmao, can't wait til every library shuts down and all the gay ass books are burnt to ash

That's the plot to the book Fahrenheit 451

What are some books made by niggers.

Catherine?

What's the Finnegans Wake of video games?

...

this game had something to do with kafka but i dont really recall what
were there explicit references?

bad mojo
games meh

>somewhere there's someone out there who unironically believes this

Please, no meat touching, ma'am!

Books are too racist.
We should go full 1984 and burn them all.

people hate what they don't understand

Things Fall Apart

What is it about.

Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo

Guy Montag?

Judging by the title, what happens when niggers are in charge.

Not nigger enough.

Mein Kampf

Mr mosquito.

Early colonization of Africa told from the point of view of some tribesman who can't really adapt to the changing way of life. It's pretty neat in that it's both the main character's refusal to adapt to change, and the change itself being problems to an extent.

Bad Mojo.

I'm not into this kind of thing but I'm surprised, that's pretty interesting.

Brainlet here. Haven't read a book since middle school. I cheated my way through highschool. I want to become smart and better myself now that I am not such a philistine.

What are some good books for ease of access. I read the spark notes on this kafka story and it completely flew over my head that it was a story about not wanting to work for a frame of reference.

pls respond

Kinda but no
It's Flower, Sun & Rain

You still sound like a philistine to me.

work for thise dicke bitche

Came here to post that.

Excellent atmosphere

If you're actually reading for the sake of thinking try some philosophy. If you think reading is something inherently "smart" then you're still a philistine. It's just another entertainment media like vidya for the most part.

This is a classic

bioshock infinite

Didn't the father become mind-broken and miserable after he hit his son? Explain how that related to the hikikomori NEET analogy.

no he didn't he didn't care

You guys really didn't read Metamorphosis?
The father was the one true NEET until the transformation, Gregor was supporting the whole family and he just hated himself

thats because I am trying to cure my -90 iq

I have fallen for Diogenes, alan watts, and camus

For me it's Kafka - Intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor

If you're seriously looking into bettering yourself reading self-help and psychology books are a great way of expanding and opening your mind. Once you read enough of those you'll starting see some patterns in their life lessons, gradually improvong your understanding of the world around you.

Just take any recommended booklist like this one and use your discretion to find more. If you just wanna to get into a reading habit to start, read some fiction from your favorite genre.

I have the book right next to me. I don't see why people think it's about a man getting tired of his life it seems pretty literal that he's turning into a bug and is getting fucked up but everyone pretty much acts naturally to what's supposed to be an unnatural phenomenon.

That's completely wrong though. The protagonist was a hard worker and even tried to go even though he turned into a bug.

Then why did he sat his ass all day and never take off the uniform?

>how_to_be_an_insufferable_cunt.jpg

Gregor wanted to be NEET too, that's what those anons meant.
I mean who the fuck wants to maintain such an asinine family.

I mean, it's kinda like that but you also need to take in account the context, Kafka is pretty much Gregor
Well, you're right
Can't blame Gregor

who the fuck wants to die a rotting mindless bug you dumb fuck

Silent Hill 4: The Room

The joke is that the book isn't supposed to be taken literally, everyone's is free to interpret it the way they want.
I guess half of planet Earth, yeah it's not that they want to, but no one does anything about it.
And I guess 95% of Sup Forums too.

My favorite short story is the bucket rider.
