I wish I could say something exceedingly profound about this book, but I’m not quite sure what I could say that the book itself hasn’t already said. It was rather long, but I didn’t especially mind. I liked it. It was very thoughtful and Camus had a way of portraying human emotions and behaviors extremely accurately. I feel like I’ll think back on this book for a while
