The next book!

Hey ya'll, the next book we are going to read is The Stranger by Albert Camus. It looked like an interesting book, so I picked it up. It should be good, from what I have read it seems worthwhile though it is a little short. And if my word is not good enough for you it also won a Nobel Prize. But despite it being short, I feel a lot like Tash, there is much we can soak up. We can go as deep as we want, or only read the surface.
The book I have was translated by Matthew Ward. The book was first published in 1946. The story is of an ordinary man who unwittingly gets drawn into a senseless murder on a sundrenched Algerian beach. It explores "the nakedness of a man faced with the absurd."
After reading that I felt it might be in the same light of some of Poe's work, and also, Pascal was French, so that's why I bought it.
It should be a quick read, but I hope we find a lot to say about it, and a lot to learn. So I hope you like it, and happy reading.

Line from the book- "the curious feeling a son has for his mother constitutes all his sensibility."
