The Stranger

jacob_longini shared a tip ""I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world." -Camus 122 How do you live when nothing matters? How do you approach death? This is definitely in the running for the best short book I've ever read. Just over 100 pages, The Stranger is replete with rich literary energy. In this simple story, Camus' existentialist philosophy shows through the protagonist's struggle to find meaning in a meaningless life and its absurd ending. The shift from nonchalant, everyday activity in the first part to more intense events in the second hits the reader just right. Short, digestible, and yet invoking deep philosophical pondering. Definitely worthy of a place on your reading list."
