Kafka is good, really good and appropriate for the times. “The Trial” maybe.

Gulag Archipeligo if you dont want to go to sleep, ever.

"crime and punishment" is a great book, virtually the prototype for stuff like American Psycho and Dexter, at the time it was very very edgy, the dude almost got executed over his books

i found it interesting also that it's pre-communist, and in it in several places he talks about the emerging cult of free love appearing in russia at the time

I recommend this book:

I read the metamorphosis by Kafka. It’s a super small book and it’s impressive how he describes something impossible to happen but so vivid in his book!
