When I was 22 I attempted suicide and wound up in hospital and for the next year I walked around in a daze wanting not to be alive anymore. On a rainy London day in the midst of that haze, I wandered into Foyle's. I headed to the coffee shop on the third floor. There was a display of copies of Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus. I opened it... ... and didn't close it until I'd finished reading every word. And I sort of got my life back on track after that. So, yeah. I agree with you, Formerly_Me and deepflows, on Camus.
