Why do we hate this book now? It's fantastic.
>now
>>24935874It was #2 on the /lit/ top 100 like 3 years ago.
It's one of my favourite novelsI've read it 3 times and it's always great

>>24935871I seriously forgot if that’s even the Camus book I read recently.
>>24936025Why? I feel like they'd hate it.
>>24935871I do not care about Albert Camus.
Fall>Plague>stranger
>>24935871It's a ripoff from de sade's Dialogue between a dying man and a priest.
>>24936250its a ripoff from the seinfeld finale
>>24935881Why don't they make a top 100 companion chart with many of the books that only got one mention?
>>24936226So you haven't read it? Why even comment then?
>>24936231Plague had no right being that comfy for a quarantine tale.
>>24936231This. Not to detract from Stranger, being a great read itself, but the Fall is a proper work of art. I'll have to reread the plague though, must've been a decade since I first read it. That said, though it's been about as long, I recall really enjoying Caligula, yet I hardly ever see it mentioned in any Camus threads. Again, one I'll have to reread.
>>24935871I found it amusing for the way it portrayed total apathy, but overall I wasn't very impressed with it. It works better as a sort of essay than as a novel. Could be partly because I read it on holiday lounging at the pool, which wasn't the best fit perhaps.
It's such a dry and forgettable book. Nobody would give two shits about it if it were twice as long.
>>24936995Caligula is fucking great. He has one story that’s basically a stage version of the Plague that I like a lot as well but the name escapes me at the moment.Anyway, would recommend his plays.
Camus wasn't a fascist so he was cringe.
Because it is too popular with normal and attractive people, partly because it is accessible and short. You have to remember that /lit/ even has Harry Potter in a few older charts
>>24935984No one knows you lil bro.
>>24937894Everyone knows me.
Aint
I'm reading it right now in French and it's slow going.I enjoy it a lot though. The part about the old guy and his dog was sad though. "There's no cure for old age" is a hard lesson.
