I just finished reading The Stranger by Camus and I fell in love the detached way the main character behaved.

I don't know that much about literature, but what are some other novels with that kinda detached depressed/dark feeling ?

Mine's Meursault from The Stranger. Intelligent absurdist and with no sense of humor.

And yours?

Did he shoot the guy because he was blinded by the sun and feared he'd be attacked, or did he shoot him because the sun made him grumpy?

I don't think that was his thought process when he actually shot him. He seems to come to that conclusion afterwards.
