"The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
Hands Down the best quote i've read.

I just finished the stranger so i am making a thread to discus his books.

I want to read the stranger and I have a few of his other books too, will i sound like a fedora master if i talk about his books?

The human condition has always been impoverished but the world can still be beautiful. There's no need for you all to be so uncharitable towards yourselves . In the end you're all you truly have. Take solace in the fact that human development occurs from womb to tomb and it's not too late to at least grow little by little one day at a time. Embrace the absurd and lay yourself bare in the benign indifference of the world.
