The only book by him I have read is Siddhartha. But I was probably too young to appreciate it (I was in high school.) I often think of reading it again at this stage of my life.

I found Nietzsche very poetic and inspiring in his writings.
I was always amazed by Kafka’s Novels “ the trial” and “ the castle”. The structure of his story showed very strong attention to syntax and words used. I liken him to a craftsman.

I completely agree about Nietzsche … He is poetic and very beautiful especially in Thus Said Zarathustra..
My favorite book by Kafka is The Metamorphosis… that’s a very good book and thought provoking…

@Soossie That was the book I was thinking of when I made the statement about Nietzsche. The book could send shivers up my spine.
Metamorphosis was Kafka’s most well known writing. It gives a novel/new reader a taste of who he is.

Thank you for making me thinking of this author. Most will know him for 'Steppenwolf', or Siddhartha, but I'd say his best work was Demian. I'd have to read the books again to really say, but Demian felt the most honest.

@Soossie maybe I should reread, and my observation could be born from being male, and often I look towards what is not celebrated.

@Soossie once I reread, its placed on a list to get to.. time is limited and an author I should get back to.

Nice quote...I read one of his books in my 20s. I have to think about it again...

That is one of my favourite books ever.

He’s great. I read most of his books in college.

Unfortunately not… I’m not familiar with his/her works… here in Iran we get to read only some books which are licensed to be published…

@Soossie Coetzee is a South African author who won the Nobel Prize in fiction. Most of his books aren't remotely political, except one that really doesn't apply outside of South Africa. It would be a shame if the Iranian government censored him.

Oh...interesting thought. The books that matter most to you are the ones that actually change you. I never thought of it that way.

I have read a few of his books. Steppinwolf was a good one.
