Orlando is probably a good place to start with Woolf. It's the most plot based and the least convoluted. Not that her other books aren't quality, just experimental and difficult. Same goes with Metamorphosis and Kafka, perhaps even more so. A lot of Kafka's works weren't even finished and are published with entire pages missing and they tend to be rather dark and obscure. Looks like a good lot of books though!
Brave New World and The Metamorphosis are both really great books! I had to read both year in my lit class and loved them both. The Metamorphosis is really depressing just because like the back cover said, his family treat him horribly. :(
I'm currently
listening to Brave New World (on tape)
and reading Cannery Row (which is fun, but the language style means I have to concentrate !)
