Well I don't know if existentialism is my thing... could be that it was just the seminar I was reading this for that wasn't my thing (I dropped it). But both the The Fall and the seminar were insightful and interesting experiences. I read this book a while ago, but I enjoyed it. I remember after I had finished reading it, I didn't remember where it started, it just seemed like a continuous flow of wit, observation and insight. I didn't really like the narrator, couldn't relate to him, but I think he is very human nonetheless.

Could be the stupid discussion opener things I was stressing over/didn't know how to do that tarnished the experience for me.

An interesting writing style - a continuous monologue. It took me a while to realize it was me he was talking to. Probably because I can't relate to the premise - that we're all weasels with ulterior, self serving motives.

Then agin, maybe I don't understand Camus.

I'll pass it on and let someone else figure it out.

Thanks Karen00...
