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.
- On Monday, I posted about names of places, HERE.
- On Thursday, I wrote about my dream of words, repeated over and over, HERE.
- 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.
Sunday Salon is hosted by Deb at Readerbuzz.

I read a graphic novel of The Stranger. It felt like I was reading about a terrible dream. I hope you are able to get more blogging in this next week, Bonnie!
I've not read anything by Camus but as you are reading it again, must be a very good one for you. I need to replace a book on my classics list so will check on this title.
Sundays sneak up on me, too. I hope you are doing well. I've been thinking about you as I work with my mom to get her and my dad into a retirement home in the near future.
