>sees a dog constantly get bused every night
>thinks nothing of it

>sees a man beat a girl
>helps out the man

did the author intentionally make the protagonist as unlikeable as possible?

What do you guys think of Camus' The Stranger?

Just finished it. Can't shake the feeling Mersault had Aspergers.

>First 80% is an interesting story
>Final 20% is mindless rambling to cram in some forced nihilist existentialism "theme"
Any other books that get ruined in a similar manner?

What does it mean to like this book?

This,Hemingways "Farewell to arms" and Dostojevskies "The House of the dead" are my favourite books.
Seems kind of weird don't it?
