Kafka only wrote 3 novels, all unfinished, all excellent.
"The Trial" is the conventional starter Kafka novel. It's the only one with an ending.
"The Castle" is my favorite. A good entry if you think you already understand Kafka (you may be surprised).
"Amerika", or "The Man Who Disappeared", is an under-appreciated gem but should be read 3rd because it's the least complete and you'll need the practice appreciating unfinished novels.
