What are you reading this week?

I just finished La Peste by Camus but tbqh I thought L'Étranger was better.

How 'bout you?

Im still reading Anna Karenina (70% done) and it’s been great so far. Maybe I’ll read War & Peace next or diversify with other pieces of Russian literature not Dostoevsky (maybe Heart of a Dog?) because I’ve liked the limited selection that I’ve read so far (Dosto and now Tolstoy).

@dim, do you recommend La Peste to someone who’s already read The Stranger but wasn’t that interested in Camus’ philosophy?

I would say that La Peste would be of more interest to you than The Stranger if you aren't interested in his personal philosophy. There are obviously currents of it but they aren't as much in the forefront as with the incident with Mersault. Rather, it's in many ways an allegory for Vichy France.
