The Metamorphosis

I read this in three settings but it took me a month to actually finish it. Part of me understands why it is so famous, but I didn't read anything as life changing as I expected to - though that is possibly a fault on my part for having high expectations. I was familiar with the concept of a man waking up as an insect but had no knowledge of the text beyond that. The ending surprised me, and I did enjoy the process of reading this, but we shall see if it affects my thinking in the long term. I am glad it was not very long. If it was the length of a full novel I highly doubt I would have been persueded to read it.
