Gonna go on an Albert Camus binge. Re-reading The Stranger now and enjoying it much more a second time.
What Camus book should I read next?

I just want you guys to know that by not killing yourselves today you've made the most profound philosophical statement mankind can hope for.

Keep pushing that rock.

Not as good Albert Motherfucking Camus

What does /lit/ think of Albert Camus?

>"I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is."

>"Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?"

One body would not stop the train, if that's the case the dilemma is a non-issue because it would only kill one person either way.

Unless you're just suicidal, then I know a guy who would like a word with you.

I recently finished The Stranger, I was very content with the novella and would like some suggestions on where to go next in Camus' works.

Which author is the sharpest dresser?

Is absurdism outdated? It seems to me like the most logical system to live by, but I don't know enough about philosophy to know for sure.

Is life truly absurd, as Camus claimed?

So, could anyone provide with a translation and meaning behing "Au milieu de l'hiver, j'ai découvert en moi un invincible été"

Sounds pretty absurd to me.

But what's the point in reading something written by someone you wouldn't have sex with?

We're all in agreement that Camus is the handsomest male author, right?

I would say you're a woman or rather young, early 20s... you're optimistic and have an open mind.

I would respect you more if Life of Pi wasn't the first one on your list, but that's only my opinion.
