Anyway, I read "The Stranger" by Albert Camus. I didn't know much about it, but while doing my research in Barnes and Noble, I found out it was a "Classic" and found out that sometimes philosophy courses use it as a piece of discussion. Since I loved my philosophy class in college, I decided, "Why not take a crazy chance?" and bought it. Thanks, Duff!
The book was a suuuper quick read and I liked it. There were just so many things nagging me. The absurdity of the narrator's trial (but I get it, that's the idea..) and my modern mind was mad for the narrator cause I feel like if the trial was now he could have plead insanity. Then again, he seemed to fit the criteria for a serial killer..... But this book made you just feel sorry for the guy!!
Anyway, the book was good. And it really did bring up a lot of points that made you think, so I did like it and I'd recommend it. I just got hung up on the wrong thing.. omg just like the lawyers. !!!!
