I enjoyed the posthumous A Happy Death a little more than The Stranger. Camus, although better than many, is still overrated as a novelist and thinker; the same goes for Sartre to a lesser extent.

I've read most of Kafka and he's fairly tedius. The Metamorphosis, of course, is the exception, since it's easily one of the best novellas ever.

Your swipe at Dostoevsky is preposterous...and your loss.
