An Analysis of Counter-Capitalist Revelations in Franz Kafka’s THE METAMORPHOSIS
Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis sheds light on the nature of the dragon-like chimera of capitalism. The private symbol of Gregor’s metamorphosis, the way his family reacts to it, and the perverse euphoria Gregor’s family experiences following his death all paint a vivid picture of conformity to the dictates of capitalism that transform individuals into enablers and victims of capitalism. One of the themes of The Metamorphosis is that since most people have no desire to be confronted with the truth regarding the oppressive realities of capitalism, denying these harsh realities becomes a socially acceptable way of maintaining normality and equanimity.

Early Agatha Christie Explored
One of my reading goals is to read my way through the collection of various favorite authors I have. My parents were both huge fans of Agatha Christie, and they were the ones who introduced me to her murder mysteries when I was a teenager. I was excited to return to the beginning with her debut novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles.

Tales and Targets
This year started out rough for me, with my father’s death on January 2nd. I had to drive down to Connecticut to join my siblings for the service, so I knew I would be in the car for about 8 to 9 hours. When I know I have to drive a long way, I usually look to one of the books in my audiobook library to entertain on those so long miles.

The Enchanted Library. Content Warning.
In the heart of the quiet town of Eldoria stood a peculiar building, known to all as the Enchanted Library. Its ancient bricks whispered tales of forgotten lore, and its creaky doors beckoned those in search of more than just books. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting shadows on the cobblestone streets, a young girl named Elara hesitated before the library's imposing entrance.

Seasons Readings
'Tis the season to be gift-giving, and there is nothing better than giving someone a great book. Or receiving one -- I love getting books. I am something of a book hoarder curator. I love the feel of turning the pages of a good book that you feel you can't put down - even to take that delicious sip of your favorite beverage. The idea of curling up in front of the fire in a comfortable chair as you lose yourself in another world, I think is one of the best gifts you can give to someone.
