Don't like it as much as The Outsider or The Plague,but it's still pretty good.

Have you read The Stranger? That one might be my favorite Camus. Can't even describe fully how I felt when I was reading it, but it was a very intense feeling.

Starts off a little slow, but the payoff is well worth it.

"In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."

I apologize for the small picture, it was the best Google Image could do.

The novel is called Fallen Angel written by William Hjortsberg. It's kind of a hybrid of old hardboiled detective but with a slight supernatural twist and some horror thrown in for good measure. Very well written and quite unique, or at least it was for the time (It was published in 1978). It's one of those hidden gem dollar store books you buy because the cover looks intriguing. Problem is the book is out of publication, so used bookstores are the only way to go.

Pete! Great to see you here! How the heck are you?

I'm doing well, I'll be even better when my online criminal justice class is over tomorrow and I can actually start enjoying my summer. School has pretty much been my life since January as I try and plow my way through this degree in order to join a police academy next year.

I see nothing much has changed here give or take a few new mods and members.
