Is it worth reading all of the Penal Colony (the compilation of stories, not the short story)?

I had originally intended on reading just the Metamorphosis, but is it worthwhile to read the others?

Of course it is.

In the penal colony and the metamorphosis are the only kafka shorts that arent fucking terrible.

In it are the stories, Meditation (heavily subdivided, I don't know what it is, really), The Judgement, the Metamorphosis, a Country Doctor, In the Penal Colony, and a Hunger Artist.

Never mind. Most are just very, very short stories. I suppose I will read them, anyway.

Idiot.

Read his most famous short stories and the Trial, if you like it, which you should, read everything.
