“…And whenever I can, I preach in my church of Mexico City, inviting the good people to submit and humbly seek out the comforts of slavery, while I present it as the true freedom…’

I love hate Jean-Baptiste with all my heart.

I mean, I understand some of his ways of thinking. But his values (that don't go well with mine) remind me of some men in my environment—a lot.

I love the way Jean was written, I just don't like how he is.

Anyways, I can't believe I just read a whole book of one man's conversation without a break—and actually love it. (This is my first Camus read)
