>But then I realized you can just *choose* to be happy!
How the fuck did myth of sysyphus get published?

what did this faggot mean by "rebel"? did he just arbitrarily cram the hero archetype into his absurd worldview and call it a day?

Je suis Mersault.

The fact that he died at fucking 46 is the most bullshit thing ever. It's not fair bros, there was so much more for him to do.

I'm gonna read one book by pic related, which one should it be?

What's up with so many big writers dying at 46?

>Wallace
>Camus
>Lovecraft
>Orwell
>Wilde

They say the best way to learn a language is to simply get a book on the selected language and read. What are good, simply written novels to read if you want to learn French and German? I guess Camus for French and maybe Bernhard for German?

Is age 46 the "27 Club" for authors?


These authors all died at 46.
>George Orwell
>Oscar Wilde
>H.P. Lovecraft
>Albert Camus
>David Foster Wallace
>Jack Kerouac

It's a little uncanny, isn't it?

I heard he had quite the life

>It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at that dark sky, all spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.
>To feel it so like myself, indeed, so brotherly, made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I was happy still. For all to be accomplished, for me to feel less lonely, all that remained to hope was that on the day of my execution there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should greet me with howls of execration.

Jesus Christ, Camus.

I pronounce his name Al-bert Cam-iss. Fight me.

What do you know about the famed Australian author Albert "Alzzy Dog" McCammus

what did you learn regarding literature today?
>found out albert camus is pronounced al-bear cah-moo instead of al-bert cam-us

>and at that very moment, I realized that I was The Stranger

Camus you hack!

Report, sage.

I usually feel like I grow out of Philosophy ideologies after a time and move on up to better ones. I look down on the philosophy works I don't agree with anymore.

But have agreed with Albert Camus ideas for two years now. So my question is is there anything beyond Absurd-ism etc.

What's his best book?
