Read this to expand my knowledge of Kafka, since I've never even read The Metamorphosis. Every story was fine to me. My favorites were The Metamorphosis, The Stoker: A Fragment, In The Penal Colony, and A Hunger Artist. The translation made it a very easy read for me, but some of the stories I just couldn't understand.
