How did you like "The Stranger"?

[/quote]

Awesome, I think the best book I've ever read. Also I like "The Trial" very much, it's the same philosophy as in "The Stranger". And I'm so interested to read "Caligula" and "The Misunderstanding" from Camus.</p>

59

<p>Good for you! I love Camus and I absolutely loved The Stranger. It is my favorite book ever. Read some of his other books- I've read them all. I loved the Plague. He is an amazing writer. <em>gets a little teary eyed thinking about him</em></p>

<p>My boyfriend gave me The Trial to read, so hopefully I will be starting that after the holidays.</p>
