4.0

Really enjoyed the casual language and accessibility of the text. It's a bit unusual in the sense that it takes the often ignored early work Concept of Irony (K's masters thesis) and uses it and its subject Socrates as a lens to view K's entire project. K himself didn't even consider this work as as part of his authorship, but it's clear that it was setting the foundation for his project as a whole. This is explained not only convincingly but also in an engaging way.

Incidentally this is also the source text for a free Coursera course I never finished many years back!
