I recently read “The Stranger“ by Albert Camus. It really struck me so I immediately read it again. Now I have been listening to lectures and reading about existential philosophy. Does anyone want to talk about this book!?

I know a bunch of people read this in high school, but I definitely didn’t. I’m 34 and I only picked it up for the first time last week. A lot of the ideas felt familiar, but I’ve never really put words to them or talked about them with anyone. I really liked how plain the narrator’s language is—no fluff, just kind of blunt and honest about how he sees things. Did this hit anyone else hard? And what other books would you recommend if I liked this one? Thanks!
