Hey /lit/, I know Albert Camus and The Stranger are spammed about

I read the Plague and it bored me to death. The Stranger wasn't as long or sterile.

My favourite Camus along with The First Man,one of the few books which I've immediately re-read upon finishing.

Was very insecure about by works because I felt like everyone judged me. This book intensified my fears because everyone needs a slave to feel good

I tore through La chute while travelling to a uni interview because I said I had read it in my application.

Got rejected desu

I felt like the plague is supposed to bore you. It's so drawn out and featureless that even the reader is accustomed to death, by the time you read about the horrible induvidual suffering some people had in the hospital (iirc) you don't even care anymore. Truly absurb desu

Tarrou: I want to become a saint
Rieux: But you don't believe in God
Tarrou: Exactly

The Plague is top tier existentialism if you can make it through the dry spells.

The Fall is his best for sure.
L'etranger is overrated and meme-tier (yet a must-read because of its cultural significance), The Plague boring as shit. Camus as a thinker is rather repetitive in his l'absurd existentialism, so the best and most interesting approach to him is reading The Fall and his essay on Sisyphus and then discarding everything you learned from him.

>Not reading Camus in french.

OP, please.
