The Myth of Sisyphus is a bit of a downer. The first chapter deals with suicide, reasons for, reasons why despite those reasons people continue to live their lives.
The timing for reading about suicide is not great given that a family member recently took his own life.
I had forgotten that the futility of life was a bit of a theme to writers like Camus. He opposed nihilism and fell out with Sartre over their different philosophical theories.
Maybe I will read his short stories first. Exile and the Kingdom was recommended to me by someone who wrote her master’s dissertation about Camus and his secular canonisation.
