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