>he enjoyed the stranger
HAHHAHAHAAHHAAHA
Shouldn't you be in school kid?
the most overrated legitimate work of literature i've ever read
it's like catcher in the rye for college students
>>8248037
What's so bad about it?
>>8248056
Disliking Camus is a meme.
>>8248040
Why can't you look at it from your own perspective and not from where you think others think about it? Who cares what others think of a book? And it's not even what other think of the book on a specific level, it's what you think the masses think of it which is just a trash thought to put into your mind.
>>8248040
This is the kind of thinking that I've never understood. Why do people care if something is overrated? If you disliked the book, explain why. Don't just say you didn't like it just because lots of other people did like it.

This is the kind of thinking I've never understood. Why do people think saying something is overrated means you disliked it because it's popular. If you disliked the book and it's popular and won a Nobel, then you think it's overrated. Don't just say someone isn't using their own perspective because you liked it.
retards

The only criticism you had of the book is that it's overrated, which is kind of weak because it's an opinion based off of the opinions of other people.
currently reading it

Something being overrated isn't a criticism, it's simply the fact of an opinion when one thinks something is worse than the general consensus leads it to be perceived.
It's okay.
>>8248218
You're right anon. Sorry.
>>8248218
That's true but it leaves me no more informed than saying you dislike something does. Why not say why you dislike it which would make the conversation a constructive one.

who are the best authors that translate books to spanish?
>>8248578
I don't know
that's an italian version btw
I was underwhelmed.
People will say the prose was shit because they couldn't understand the point of the book. They'll also say only children read it because muh purity of classics.
Haven't even looked at thread replies
>>8248029
It was alright, I did not get what the whole fuss was about, but it
>really made me think...
Also made me question whether it is an unintended autism check tied to the fact of whether you liked the main character or not.
I enjoyed it too. I read The Idiot right after and there was a story in Part 1 that Myshkin told and it reminded me of The Stranger a lot. Kind of glad I read them in that order.

It's a wonderful book to think back on while getting that chilling feeling that comes with accepting your impermanence. It's an essential read in existential philosophy.
really makes you think...
I like The Fall better
>>8250160
I like The Plague more than either of the two
>>8250160
I've read the fall, the stranger, the plague the myth of Sisyphus and the rebel.
I would have liked the rebel and myth of Sisyphus a lot more if I was well read and had previous experience with all the philosophers Camus picks apart
That being said the Fall is definitely Camus' best work in my book. I hope to read it a few more times in my life. It explained the "no excuses" angle to existentialism very clearly. Helped me confront the existential responsibility I harbor as a human being.
Also I loved the real life backstory to The Just Judges I spent just as much time reading the story behind that painting as I did on the Fall ha

It's a nice change of pace from more dense books. Camoo is ok if you want a relatively short read that isn't the deepest thing ever but isn't entirely vapid.

What else should I read if I like the stranger?

Either any other work of Camus or Nausea by Sartre, Kafka's books?
