When I think of reading something like Kafka’s workplace writings (he was in the insurance trade; how much more boring could it get)  I get the chills and think, thank goodness I’m not a literary scholar. I’m sure it has some value, but I’d rather hear a 30 minute interview give me a survey than read it. Maybe someday someone will want to analyze all the code I’ve written, if it still works…talk about ephemeral.
