I Sometimes Want to Sleep Forever

@SomeLikeItHot novels such as?

@Yoroshii Of course Camus "The Plague" or "The Stranger" or "The Myth of Sisyphus", Sartre "Nausea, Nietzsche "Thus spoke Zarathrusta", Kafka "Metamorphosis" or "The Trial" or "The Castle" to start with. If you embrace absurdity of life I personally believe that you need to understand the primordial concepts of what you embrace.

@SomeLikeItHot I'll consider these readings, thanks!

@Yoroshii Depending on what you are missing will depend on what you read first. Nietzsche has a lot of poetic emotion charged in that perticular Novel but it is a bit dangerous. It demonstrates how Hitler was inspired by him.

@SomeLikeItHot whoa, okay. Can you tell me more about 'The Plague' and 'The Stranger'?

@Yoroshii In "The Stranger" Meursault a French Algerian murders an Arab. He is tried and sentenced for the murder. It it is narrated from two "points of view".
It was ignored until Sartre examined it critically.

@Yoroshii "The Plague" is about a plague in French Algiers and focuses on the human condition and the nature of destiny

@SomeLikeItHot thanks! The Plague seems interesting

@Yoroshii They are both seminal for Modern Existentialism which Camus did not like that term.
