Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

From Wiki:

The Metamorphosis (German: Die Verwandlung), also translated as The Transformation, is a novella by Franz Kafka published in 1915. One of Kafka's best-known works, The Metamorphosis tells the story of salesman Gregor Samsa, who wakes to find himself inexplicably transformed into a huge insect (German: ungeheueres Ungeziefer, lit. "monstrous vermin") and struggles to adjust to this condition, as does his family. The novella has been widely discussed among literary critics, who have offered varied interpretations. In popular culture and adaptations of the novella, the insect is commonly depicted as a cockroach.

We usually head to the pub after our discussion.

We're a group that welcomes all, young, old, completely new to philosophy or well versed, students to those who've never darkened the door of a lecture. And you don't have to have been coming from the start of our long reads. It can be helpful, but also don't feel you can't dive in at some point along the way!
