“Have you no hope at all? And do you really live with the thought that when you die, you die, and nothing remains?” “Yes,” I said.”

Excerpt from
The Stranger
Albert Camus

Someone once said in reflection of this book that this is the type of guy you would avoid at a party and in my opinion Meursault is not too far off a guy I’ve dated. 

How fun and not entirely insufferable to read.
