I agree with the other answerer, but I think you should also read his novels, because they have a philosophical dimension and he is a brilliant writer. Try The Stranger and The Plague. I also like the unfinished posthumous book about his youth in Algeria, The First Man. It is a good introduction to his background as a child in an extremely poor family. I greatly admire the courage that man had.

Definitely The Plague. That's the first book I read by Camus and became a fan!

It relies upon on WHY you elect to ascertain. no remember if it is for sheer escapism, i could advise examining Tolkien's 'Lord of the jewellery' that's an excellent thank you to place actuality aside for some days. in any different case, examining can introduce you to an entire new way of viewing the international and humanity. i could advise that examining something like 'Jude the obscure' with the help of Thomas Hardy or 'Wild Swans' with the help of Jung Chang could be a initiating in attempting to make larger your journey.
