I just finished reading Camus' The Stranger for my Popular Religion/Culture in Modern Europe class. (Hello, existential angst! What a bummer of a book.) I've also been reading Henri Nouwen's Our Greatest Gift: A Meditation on Dying and Caring, for pleasure. Nouwen knows how to speak my language. As always, I appreciate his transparency and insight. Camus? Not so much.

Ugh! I had to teach The Stranger to my seniors last year and I HATED it. I'm glad you had Nouwen by your side to balance out Camus' meaninglessness.
