wow, thanks anon!, I thought this thread was dead

wow, I feel stupid for writing that redundant phrase, and I was referring to this edition: http://www.amazon.com/Myth-Sisyphus-Other-Essays/dp/0679733736/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qi
d=1282255385&sr=1-1

not the single essay, for me the whole concept of the absurd, the suicide option, intellectual-suicide, living without appeal, the nausea, nostalgia, making a revolt; amounts to more than a paragraph, imho he named things I've felt before but never dared to inspect further.

bump: I bought The Plague, The fall, The kingdom and selected essays compilation (I never liked the Stranger but I hope these other fiction works of Camus are better)

I also bought The Portable Atheist because I feel bad for Hitchen's

mmm... the file name should be absurdism not existentialism imho

Hi /lit/, I recently finished The Myth of Sisyphus and I really liked it, it was a hard read but it made me ponder a lot when I understood it, can you recommend me some other non-fictions essays like this one.

Fair enough,

>>680878
by reading some excerpts of The Myth of Sisyphus, I think is quite the contrary, the purpose of life is life itself

>>680832
I was just looking for your opinions about the topic, but is not like it matters thought.

>>680813
Yes, you can keep thinking there is a purpose.

>>680820
I wouldn't mind <(^_^)>

So /lit/, have you already embraced the absurd?

The Aleph is the most mental story I've read, I'm glad I can read him in his native language

I liked Vanilla Sky

Ronery Approved ;_;

I am currently reading Galapagos, is my first novel from him, and I'm liking it, even if it's a translation to Spanish and not the original work

me too

The Fountainhead (it was both: intelligent and inspiring imho)

I thought it was more about the chore and sacrifice that are disabled peoples to their families and society, and how people and their emotions can chance due to the circumstances

>>508563
I thought it was more a analogy of the chore and sacrifice that are disabled people to their families and society
