”The sea was gentle and warm, the sun fell lightly on their soaked heads, and the glory of the light filled their young bodies with a joy that made them cry out incessantly. They reigned over life and over the sea, and, like nobles certain that their riches were limitless, they needlessly consumed the most gorgeous of this world’s offerings.”

A gentle, nostalgic, slowly ambling book that I just don’t have the patience for right now. Camus’ reflection on his life and childhood, too meandering and uneventful for me at this time. Has that certain dryness that comes with foreign books translated to English. Seems nice, though.
