I've been reading The Plague, by Albert Camus. I'm not a fan of Stuart Gilbert's translation; it's clunky and full of convoluted dependent clauses.

With that said, it's really good. A few passages made me tear up.

I'm reading this at work. Slow going since I keep getting interrupted.

It's a great book, but I loved The Stranger even better. If you haven' read it yet, give it a try.

The Stranger is on my to-read list. Definitely looking forward to it; I'm really enjoying what Camus has to say.
