panLong short stories. Not too good short stories.
Currently reading the tagged book for my Classic of the Month (CotM) and wanted to update myself on my personal reading goal for the year 📚 A Happy Death is Camus‘ first novel and has the most author insert of all his novels. One of my favorites of all time is L‘Etranger and I‘m determined to read all his novels.
I purchased another Camus book as the first one I read, The Stranger was so though provoking and well done! The title of this one alone is intriguing!

Some 🧠food brought to you by sleeplessness & resulting in an early morning chores/productive spurt.
pickI have listened to this twice in a row now and I have come to the conclusion that I cannot listen to philosophy texts on audiobook. Perhaps it‘s because I can‘t take the time to digest what I‘m reading the same way I can with a physical book (unless I pause it every other minute).
It is no fault of Camus; there is some great stuff here, but even Edoardo Ballerini‘s fantastic voice and impeccable delivery couldn‘t keep me entirely engaged.
Picked this one out at my local antiquarian/used bookstore.LOVED the inscription.
