Kafka was a big fan of Goethe. Personally I like Thomas Mann, Herman Hesse.

No genius . Just a weak hypochondriac with personality disorder writing about himself most of the time .
A Fruit Cake .QUOTE :-From his early years, Franz Kafka suffered from a sense of physical interiority, a feeling that physically he was inadequately endowed for life. That feeling was intensified by his physically powerful father Hermann Kafka who enjoyed robust health. Kafka was embarrassed, for instance, when undressing at the swimming pool in the presence of his father.
Franz Kafka was dogged from his student years by feelings of physical weakness and inadequacy, as well as anxiety and a dread of noise, accompanied by headaches and insomnia and various symptoms of real or imagined illness. Sometimes he put it down to his tendency to hypochondria, on other occasions he ascribed his condition to neurosis. During crises he would display symptoms akin to nervous breakdown or suicidal moods and forebodings. Interwoven into this complex web of psychophysical problems was his writing which he increasingly came to regard as a primary existential need.
Kafka’s first trips in search of rest and convalescence etc etc
