It is about a man who appears not to have feelings, at least ordinary feelings. He is somebody who doesn't feel as most people. It is a really good book.Aitor Artaitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18316954378205374368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199256706975499037.post-39179723263748885182009-08-15T21:01:55.468-04:002009-08-15T21:01:55.468-04:00Lordy lordy ..

I'll never forget a girl in a european lit class in college doing an oral presentation on this and getting up there with her boom box and playing "Killing an Arab" by The Cure. So weird. http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Killing-an-Arab-lyrics-The-Cure/A5D795BA89619B5248256BC10023E4A5Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521434567047157194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199256706975499037.post-73677407300869698652009-08-10T09:47:09.493-04:002009-08-10T09:47:09.493-04:00(Prongs here) I have actually read The Fall by him...(Prongs here) I have actually read The Fall by him as all and was very impressed.

If you like this author, I advice you to read also The Plague which is also another French classic. All Camus' work is very impressive and is a must-read all together :-)LNhttp://books-etc.over-blog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199256706975499037.post-91264397870728715262009-08-08T10:10:12.791-04:002009-08-08T10:10:12.791-04:00I love the Harry Potter terminology :) I am curren...I love the Harry Potter terminology :) I am currently rereading this series too, they are even better the second time around!

But seeing that you enjoyed The Stranger, I'll definitely give it a shot. Those excerpts you chose (especially the opening lines!) tell me it will be worth the read.<br /><br />P.S.<br />I noticed that a couple of his work has a two-word title: The Stranger, The Plague, The Guest, The Fall.. It makes me giggle.
