Veeky Forums newfag. I just read The Stranger by Camus and i really liked it. I identified with Meursault's character : his apathy, his dissociation and his passiveness. Any books similar to this one?

I also enjoyed the stranger and empathized with mersault
we share certain traits, we're both intelligent nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor

well considering Camus was a retard and this book is aimed at edgy 14 year olds, I'd recommend some other YA trash that reddit loves like vonnegut or McCarthy
Andrew Clark
nice

I would suggest ignoring this insufferable faggot, except that he is right about who the book is aimed at.
Recommend this podcast on the subject, there are times of life to be reading certain Camus works. As far as moody existentialism and nihilism, as a new reader you might as well move on to Mishima.

You're supposed to dislike Mersault for the filthy nihilistic piece of shit he is. Delete this thread and read the sticky you pleb.

You might like Kafka. The Metamorphosis is quintessential high school lit, just like The Stranger.

Journey to the End of the Night? Has apathy and nihilism in spades together with some pretty black comedy. Notably different in that the main character is deeply cynical to the point of outright misanthropy. Not an easy read given the author's writing style!... and it supposedly loses a lot in translation, though since I don't speak French I can't really comment on that.
