Well, why not... It is another day with high humidity here, although at least by now, in the afternoon, the heat has ebbed considerably. Time to descend on a world of mud and insects.

17) The Burrow (or The Tunnel)
18) The Bucket-rider
19) Jackals and Arabs
20) Other/Kafka is a slavic onomatopoeic term anyway

My favorite is The Burrow, cause it is about something which tries to live in a huge system of caverns and tunnels it has created, but it cannot even allow itself this pleasure after working on them for so long. It was also one of his last completed works
PS: i tended to not include the smallest short-stories. Only 'Unhappiness' is an exeption there, since it is the main story of his first ever printed book, the collection of brief fiction titled 'Contemplation'. It is also the earliest example of his sentence structure, in my view, and a great story all-around in my opinion
