What a "piece" of shit book.

What a "piece" of shit book

Meursault is my fav character for sure because my fav thing in books is mundane events, and his book is full to the brim of it. Every chapter is like one of those novelty pet rocks, you open the book & POP you get a face fulla boredom and you fall back asleep. The mad mind, the crack genius, to do it! and then you think hmmm whats he gonna do next, this great mind, and you pick the book back up and BLAM you get a shot to the face and Hahahahahah you've been shot again by old Meursault, that card. "Woops, I was looking at the sun!" he says, half-conscious. Watch him as he takes his mom's corpse and displays her for you- left, right, center- "you think she died today? Or yesterday???" Pulls out a calendar. "Ah!" Hand to naughty mouth. And you're on your ass again getting sleepy as his head snaps on the guillotine and rolls off right.

The book has some problems. I suppose all novels do. It isn't a book for all readers, but for people interested in existentialism it's good place to start

I feel like I didn't get "it". I mean maybe it just didn't affect me like other people cause i'm so jaded with existentialism and have felt that way since my teens? I don't know. I'm gonna read Sisyphus soon. Maybe I'll become more interested.

"What" "a" "piece" "of" "shit" "post"

It seems to me that many readers think The Stranger is lacking in some way or is unoriginal. To adopt this kind of opinion is to misapprehended the influence existentialism has had on western culture over the last fifty years.

Magnificent meta-meme, mister!

The whole idea is "look how fucked up shit gets if we give in to existential nihilism"

and it makes for an incredibly boring read.

Someone got the stranger as greentext screencap? My hdd was killed some time ago.

Muh mum died today

"Momma gon to sleep today. Idk maybe yesterday idkidk nigga stfu yo punk ass. Funeral tomoz or smthn. It's complicated ok nigga??? SHIT IS F-U-C-K-E-D UP. Jeeezuss."

How does /lit/ justify itself for liking such texts? No wonder this board is different from the rest of 4chan.

>SHIT IS F-U-C-K-E-D UP. Jeeezuss."
But that's not his tone at all. He is detached.
