might not have been that bad a time to start it. Camus was an existentialist, and an aburdist. He believed, and I think that he tried to portray in the book(Its been awhile since I read it)that life has no meaning in and of itself, it only has meaning in the sense that we ourselves give it meaning. He talks in there I remember about heroism. And one of the things I think he tries to get across in the book is that just going on living your life in the face of such absurdity is a kind of heroism in itself. Have you gotten to the part where they going swimming in the Sea yet? I remember that being my favorite part.
