The Stranger and The Meursault Investigation – June CC Book Club Selection

Hi everyone! better late than never, right? I finished “The Meursault Investigation” about a week ago, but then had to immediately jump into reading “A Man Called Ove” for my RL Book Club meeting 2 days ago. (I loved this latter book, by the way.)

I had read “The Stranger” in French about a million years ago, and have to say I hardly remembered any of it. I liked it well enough. “The Meursault Investigation,” though was another story – didn’t care for it at all. Too confusing and hard to follow. It probably didn’t help that I ended up reading it in snippets, frequently walking away from it since I disliked it so much.

I’ve skimmed all the posts here … Didn’t understand at all that the ghost in the bar is supposed to be Camus?!? I’m sure there’s quite a lot I didn’t"get," actually – and I have to say it doesn’t bother me in the least! :slight_smile:

See you all August 1. Our D’s wedding is September 23, but at the moment things seems to be pretty well under control.
