The Stranger - Albert Camus

I finished the Stranger today. It's a book by Albert Camus, who apparently died in a car crash years before I was born. I borrowed the book from my father and he told me that it is a classic. I have to agree. The writing style is great. Short, concrete sentences and not a whole lot of fluff. It is one of these books that can be read in one sitting, and it is quite possible because it is not that long. The book provokes thought, and it is ironic in a sense because the main character is not a thinker. His outlook is that most things that happen doesn't really matter, and one should live in the now and not think too much about it, or the future. This is a great book and I strongly recommend it.

" have never seen a Native American food-serving restaurant. It cannot be that me and my friend are the only two ding-dongs to have been thinking about this. Someone must have, and someone must have tried a Native-American-themed" See http://nativechefs.com for listing of Native restaurants.

that is awsome...like i said, I had no idea, and now I will definately check it out. I ate at Saddle Peak, which was included for its game influence. I will check out the place in Vancouver too.
It is also amazing that I had this post up for about 5 minutes, becuase I was showing the friend I was talking to what I was working on, and then took it down because it's not complete.
Thanks siksikaboy.
