I came into this without knowing anything, other than it was a widely regarded classic. I leave without being able to describe a lot of it, which strikes me as quite a Meursault-ish review. It's a story about a man who speaks to me at some primal level; the world continues, and we make our actions, and...people move around us.

It's a short read and one that has left me a lot of thoughts that I cannot, clearly, put into words.

Really mindboggling classic. The main character's absolute dullness in experiencing the world penetrates the experience of the story and how the plot develops is interesting. 
Good amount of thoughts about a woman's body
