any recs?


The Stranger
The Myth of Sisyphus
The Plague

And if you like absurdist fiction, I also recommend Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, and The Trial, and also Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.

I enjoyed Camus well enough but didn't find him particularly moving. The Kafka and Heller works that you recommended, though, should be required reading for anyone living in modern society. The Trial, in particular, captures the zeitgeist of the modern world perfectly, which is rather stunning considering it was written a century ago. Kafka was far, far ahead of his time.
