Kafka's The Castle.
A more adult and courageous Kafka than the usual. Grabs the bull by the horns and jumps to the fight, that's the best way I can describe the main ideology. The Trial might be his most famous book, but the character was totally inadequate to it's expectations and purpose, disoriented and ultimately swallowed. In The Castle, Kafka shows a willingness to "fight the system" in it's own way, not turning his face to the issue at hand.
I enjoyed the book, but looking forward to re-read it quicker. It took me over 5 months to get it done, due to my absurd lack of time. A faster reading would provide a better link with the mood of the book, which is, in my opinion, very important in Absurdist/Existentialist novels, due to it's constant rationality of illogical responses.

Out by Natsuo Kirino.
It's about a group of women that work together in a packed lunch factory, trying to dispose of the corpse of the husband of one of them after the wife murdered him.
