Most English people don't get Franz Kafka. They read metamorphosis and focus on the whole bug aspect of the book, when in fact he isn't a bug. English translators render the word Ungeziefer as meaning insect. Ungeziefer literally means "vermin" and is sometimes used to mean "bug". Translators got carried away with the whole bug thing when infact Gregor Samsa is just some gigantic hideous vermin.

between the ages of 17 and 19 I did nothing but read Michael Moorcock, listen to Hawkwind and get banjo'd on weed. Then I went to art school and Punk Rock happened...

(read Moorcock too - hippy goth that I was - and probably still am )
I never talk during music, at least during good music. If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it in conversation.
