How did it get to be Sunday again, already?

The Stranger ~ by Albert Camus, translated from French by Matthew Ward, 1989 (first published in 1942), literary fiction, xxxvi pages of introductory information + 117 pages

This is the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach.  Camus explores what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd" and describes the condition of reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that characterized so much of twentieth-century life.  I have read this several times, but I'm ready to read it again.

Here's what I have posted this week:
  1. On Monday, I posted about names of places, HERE.
  2. On Thursday, I wrote about my dream of words, repeated over and over, HERE.
  3. On Friday, my book beginning was a repeat of a book I now hope to actually finish reading, HERE.
Well, it appears I haven't done much blogging this week, doesn't it?  Maybe in the coming week, I'll do more blogging.
