I updated the chart based on your recomendations. I didnt add images for some of the books because the chart would have been too big. What do you think?

Looks good mate. I've not read them yet but I've been told that Akutagawa's Rashomon & Seventeen Other Stories is meant to be good so maybe add that one in too.

Has anyone read those Kafka's short stories? What where your impressions? I really want to read it because in my country we don't have them translated, so I want to know if it's fine to read the English translation

they're amazing, haven't read them all, but you should just read them in English, though I am studying german and look forward to reading them again in the original

Typo on spelling “Fitzgeralt”

Voragine and Varagine are variant spellings, but you use Varagine on the side while the cover spells it Voragine
