What can I say? Very short read, obviously, and brilliant, too. At first, I was waiting to feel something with the book - what exactly, I don't know. But I was waiting to feel something. Then, it happened. I began to understand Meursault. He was a simple man. Simple man. We all tend to say we are simple, but I don't think we understand what we mean by 'simple' when we say it. Meursault personifies simple. If you want to know what I mean, read the book. What I've taken away from this, though, the ultimate thing, is that society fears simple, even though society claims that it wants simple. Amazed. A brilliant read. (Very hard book to rate.)
