I'm not going to pretend to be one of the cool millennials to read the classics and "important" literature to seem to be edgy or whatever but...

I just didn't like The Double maybe because: 1. I'm dumb and couldn't follow through, or; 2. I picked up a bad translation, or: 3. what the actual heck was all that, really?

Okay for real, I understood the gist of what it's all about, but the suffering throughout the entire reading process was unnecessarily painful.
