I’ve now read Albert Camus The Stranger as I previous said I would do.
Why did I read it?
Because I read another book; Jean-Paul Sartre Existentialism is a humanism and In that book there is a review, an analysis, by Jean-Paul Sartre on The Stranger by Camus.

I used to say that my favourite genre of books were those written by a Swedish male in his 30′s or 40′s writing about his childhood in the 1960′ – 70′s and 80′s and while this never was a 100% true I now really have to revise my opinion and statement (not just because of the book I’ve just read but because the books I’m reading and liking less and less seem to fit the description here above).

Back to the just read bok; The Stranger by Albert Camus was a great book. Just click on the link above and download it, then read it. It made me think quite a bit; about how we act, about what means anything and so forth. The reason I read it was, as stated above, so that I could finish another book I was reading.
I must say I didn’t quite understand Sartre’s analysis in full, I hope to one day but now a lot just passed some distance over my head. There were a lot of reference to other thinkers and/or writers and a lot of interpretation which I didn’t get. The one thing I will really take with me though is the short but giving passage of Sartre’s opinion, or understanding/analysis, of Camus use of language, in particular the way Camus present his sentences. Haven’t thought about that stuff earlier and what it does to, how it kind of manipulates you as a reader.

As I’ve said before; reading leads to reading leads to reading and I could jump to a vast number of works being related, referred to or otherwise compared to these two works (or I could just read something else all together, I really should be reading for my aesthetics exam…).
I found this on the Internet: Jean-Paul Sartre Nausea so that is what I am going to read. These two works and these two men, Sartre and Camus, seem to have had a lot in common. The after reading Nausea I have to read Camus The Myth of Sisyphus (if it is as short as the one under my link it’ll be a breeze).

Ok. Other stuff.

Rob O is taking yet another day of from mixing since he has to edit some drum sounds or something which sounded strange (it might be mixer guy code for: I have to sit out on the porch and have a couple of beers).

I have to go back out to the terrortory (no miss spellings here; word pun) tonight. The house of the death haunted ghost and scary stuff evil the 13:th. Let us all see how that goes. I might come back with a patch of white hair on the back of my head whispering I see dead people…
