Recently finished 'The Stranger' by Albert Camus and can't recover from the emotional wreckage it has caused.

Has anyone else felt the same way after reading this book? I’m left with this heavy sadness that I can’t really shake, and it’s been sticking with me. How do you all deal with books like this that mess with your head and kind of leave a lasting mark? A couple friends of mine couldn’t even get through like 10 pages—they said they didn’t get why the main character thinks the way he does, like his mindset is just too “absurd.” But for me it hit differently, and I ended up loving it because I honestly related to him a lot. So yeah, what did you all think?
