This book is trash. Who the hell wants to read a book about some asshole who has no opinions or feelings about anything? Nobody. Not to mention the most interesting thing he does is randomly gun down one sandnigger.

The Tunnel by Sábato.
It is more a sad love story with strong brushstrokes of alienation.
I read it in school also besides the stranger.
>>
>>8241602

Please no, anon. The tunnel is shit in comparison with other books. If you liked it, I would recommend you Crime and Punishment by Dosteovsky

>>8241111

Albert Camus was an emo fag and if you like this book you're a emo fag as well. Nevertheless, it writes about absurdity and emptiness which is a very interesting topic on nowadays psychology... Narrative is simple, but the book it self is not 100% shit.
>>
>>8241111
Pronounced Albert Caymus

I think you'd like The Trial by Kafka, which is also quite short

Campus was a Chad playing that emo card for audience pussy.
>>
So edgy teens like this novel because they identify with Mersault and think they are 'pseudo intellectually misunderstood in a cruel, tragically cruel society.' But those with any sort of self awareness realize that society was, in fact, better off with Mersault dead. The man was a sociopath who continually shot the man he killed post mortem and felt nothing towards it. No remorse, nothing. I identified with society in this. Starting out just dealing with the abnormality until it developed into a cancer, finally severing it from my system.

That said, OP read Stoner next. It's a super easy read that everyone here virtually agrees is quality literature. You will likely complete it wanting more.

I love cats but I wish they were smart enough not to walk onto roads. Every time I see a cat on the road I get mad and tell it to go back to its yard but cats don't understand English.

Thankfully I've never ran over anything larger than a squirrel.
