I'm up to 20-something clients now; I don't know what I'd do w/163! Mine are all felonies, though, and about 15 of 20 are currently incarcerated so the pressure's on. That counts for something, doesn't it? Frolics: Yeah, they’re really spoiling me. I’m up to 20-something clients now; I don’t know what I’d do w/163!

As of this morning I have 163 and I thought I lived in a small state. Maybe I should have moved to Montana ;) 13 clients! As of this morning I have 163 and I thought I lived in a small state.

Why Kafka? Are you trying to torture yourself? Ok, it's good stuff, in a very depressing way, so not exactly what I'd pick for vacay, but if you insist, I can only tell you that I have only read "Metamorphosis" and "The Trial." Of those, the first is by far the most readable. "The Trial" made me feel so claustrophobic and frustrated that I wanted to scream, so if that sounds like fun, by all means, take it with you. "Metamorphosis," on the other hand, is short enough that even though it produces the same feelings, you can get through them much easier and then think about all the ways in which you yourself might be a bug, or an alien, in this strange world of ours. It's kind of fun, at least insofar as Kafka can be called fun.... If you're looking for good vacation reading that makes you think, might I suggest "The Handmaid's Tale"? Depressing? Sure, but much more readable than Kafka and just a damned fine book. Where do you get to go? Goodness! Why Kafka? Are you trying to torture yourself?
