Personally, I enjoyed the Hunchback of Notre Dame best (the author is Victor Hugo, by the by). It is funny at some points actually, but mostly it's tragic and sad. If you saw the Disney movie when you were a kid, it's actually a little shocking the differences. If you're into architecture, it does describe te entire cathedral in its entirety and the details are beautifully written. The story is gruesome and full of lust, death, love, and sacrifice. Two thumbs up homes.

None are really best, but my personal favourite is The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

My personal favourite is The Hunchback.... it's SO well written. Mind you, I read an english translation :D I much preferred it over the Dafoe (which is still a great book). Haven't read the Stranger, though.....
I was looking for something new to read, so maybe I'll look for the Camus book at my library. If you're grouping it with these other two fantastic books, then maybe it's worth looking at.Thx.

I'm glad I'm not you. These are all great books. If you want drama and fun, read Dafoe.
Tragedy, The Hunchback.
I never read The Stranger but Camus was a Nobel prize winner in literature. L'Ãtranger was first published in 1942 then in English, The Stranger, 1946. Hope this helps.

"The Hunchback of Notre Dame" by Victor Hugo, in my humble opinion.

The depth of characterizations, the richness of the time, the spell-binding and bizarre plot all lead me to ... The Hunchback. Although I had to plow through unfamiliar turns of phrase and different rhythms of speech, I did it. I'm glad I did because all I knew of this character was what I had seen in comedies. Now, my heart aches every time I see him...

Robinson Crusoe, not only is it good to read, it is also good to have with you if you are ever stranded on an island.
