Metamorphosis

This is most likely the last book I've read for 2014, making it #42, seven less books than I read last year. My reading plan for 2015 includes a number of classics. At last, I will take up Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace.

The Metamorphosis is a great piece of writing. If you like Russian writers I highly recommend Nikolai Gogol. For me he is number one.
