also a good reads from Camus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myth_of_Sisyphus and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stranger_(Camus_novel) and a quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/29516-there-is-but-one-trul...

“There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest — whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories — comes afterwards. These are games; one must first answer.”




I also enjoyed reading The Plague.

"You can't understand. You're using the language of reason, not of the heart; you live in a world of abstractions."
