The Fall is a worthwhile read. I am on the home stretch of this little, cryptic book. I find it interesting and enjoyable in an intellectual way.
Anyone else read it?

Sounds interesting, I read Camus in college in French. I spent a lot of the time just trying to understand the basic language. I should put that on my list,
I stole The Plague from my high school library when I was about 16. It was excellent and thought provoking. I read The Stranger in college, and that was heartbreaking but also excellent. I don't read French, so I have always read translations.
I think it was one of those books I had to read or that was on a reading list in high school, it made no huge impression, so was the Stranger I think (at least one of them was assigned reading but I did read both of them).
I did really like the Plague which I read in college as assigned reading for an English class but it's a different book - more heroic and with a moral thrust, even though it depicts a horrible situation. The Plague while working on it's own terms (as disease) which is how I read it, was meant to stand as a symbol of the Nazis also supposedly (back when the term resistance wasn't just a slogan).
