As you may know, I'm away for the summer interning for Bread for the World in Washington, DC.
Oryza and I decided in order to keep in touch in a schedule that would allow neat conversation, we would start our own two-person book club.
The first book in our (probably two-book) series is Franz Kafka's unfinished first work, Amerika. It's the story of a young Russian who is banished by his parents to America after some business involving a housemaid. The entire text is supposed to be so picturesque and strange in its depiction of Kafka's America, and I'm very excited.
