For Kafka I'd recommend finding a good translation and a good audiobook. I personally love his works, but listening to them as audiobook was a whole different experience, that maybe makes it easier to get into it.

Russian classics can seem really daunting but I highly recommend Notes from underground by Dostoevsky as a a gate way. It's a short book with the first half being the narrators ramblings and the 2nd half following a narrative :)

For Russian classics: Tolstoy's books may be long but his chapters are usually quite short. Take your time, read just a few at once and look at some online book clubs, that comment on each chapter. That may help to keep up motivation if you struggle with big books. Also, I found his language always very accessible. And probably start with shorter works to get into it. The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Notes from the Underground, A Hero of Our Time,... There are a lot of Russian classics that don't have like 900+ pages, fortunately 😂

reading classics is like this skill that you take little steps to master. you have actually put effort into reading it as well. I started with children’s classics back in middle school and it still took me a couple of months to finish because English isn’t my first language but once I managed to get a hang of it I was able to read Russian classics and even the English ones with a more complex language.
