Ok this book had no business being this funny like some scenes had me cACKLING like a witch (provided I have a tendency to find the most grim books really funny). Reading this alongside failing  trying to read The Myth of Sisyphus gave me a much deeper perspective into Camus' idea of what one should do with the absurd. This is the kind of book that you could read a million research analysis on and still leave you wondering about it, and I love it. 

The ending was so freaking savage I was shooketh and omg how am I suppose to get over THAT
