I'm thinking of getting one of his books. I used to read "The Stranger" and like it. But i'm not sure about the rest. Has anyone read his works? WHich one is good besides the above one that i mentioned? Maybe from other writes as well

Thanks,

"The Myth of Sisyphus." (or is it Sysiphus? I can never remember.)

Check out The Fall.

I've read the myth too. Interesting stuff.

Of course, Camus is great! The Stranger is perhaps the best read. I teach from -The Plague- (in translation), which is the fullest expression of his philosophical views.

The myth of Sisyphus is very fine, but it is an essay and not a novel.

Enjoy!

I'm reading the stranger right now... very interesting stuff.

not much of his stuff. Only The Stranger and The Plague. Both interesting and worth the time.

they made me read it in high school a few years ago and "La Peste" (The Plague) was part of my finals. I knew that book and Camu's life inside out, but I have never read the english version though. I just hope it is a good translation since it is a very good book (I would have love it if I was reading it for pleasure and not my exams) , translation can be annoying sometimes, for eg Shakespeare in french is just complete nonsense.

Great author. Try Exile and The Kingdom - five or six shorts stories about people at turning points in their lives and The Rebel - essay on humanity's revolt against authority. Enjoy!

isn't his most famous book the outsider? i just searched in google, it's been renamed the stranger, maybe for NA?
