Axe for the Frozen Sea

"But we need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is my belief." ― Franz Kafka
I've recently been looking into the reading habits of prominent authors and came across the linked post. This list was compiled in representation of some of the authors favoured by Kafka himself, based on Max Brod's 'Franz Kafka: A Biography'.
