"no virtue could be considered greater than that of trying to preserve oneself."
For such a short book, this one is NOT light.
A story about Joseph, rebel and a little disillusioned with life. He spends his time doing pretty idle things.
But from there it's a little crazy. It's dense and a lot of inner ramblings and he struggles to explain to everyone and even himself, why he is so against work schedule and a planned day.
but I can't say I enjoyed it. The living arrangement (and the guy who never closed his bathroom door?) was confusing because I wasn't sure how much common space they shared.
although I did find the last few chapters interesting and even chuckled at the end.
