Lmao, you didn't LAUGH while reading Kafka? Oh my god,look at this guy! He doesn't GET Kafka like us. When I read the Castle, I couldn't STOP laughing from beginning to end, and that's how Kafka envisioned it. Don't you know he was heard laughing histerically while writing his works? Here, this article by DFW should help you understand what the REAL Kafka was all about, you pseud.

Tbh you have to have a very high IQ to understand Kafka. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of German literature & literary theory most of the jokes will go over a typical reader's head. There's also Kafka's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his plots—his personal philosophy draws heavily from German law and the Torah, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny—they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Kafka truly ARE idiots—of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Kafka's existencial mouse getting "gobbled" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons and I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Kafka's genius lays folded on their bookshelves. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Kafka tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only—And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Tbh you have to have a very high IQ to understand Joyce. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the entire western canon most of the jokes will go over a typical reader's head. There's also Joyce's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his plots—his personal philosophy draws heavily from fart and cuckold fetishism, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny—they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Joyce truly ARE idiots—of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in "Bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk" which itself is a cryptic reference to a fat dirty fart that came spluttering out of Nora's backside and I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Joyce's genius lays folded on their bookshelves. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Joyce tattoo. And no, you cannot see it.
