I did read /The Outsider/ (in translation), and it didn't do anything for me. This was a long time ago, and it's possible that a second reading now would affect me more. However, a second reading in later life of Sartre's /Nausea/ had no more effect on me than the first reading in my teenage years. This, in conjunction with my general sense of something profoundly lacking in atheistic existentialism (which is not at all to say that there is not also something profoundly present and important in it) - and my experience in real life of shockingly abusive attitudes on the part of more than one individual under the influence of that bleak philosophy - leads me to doubt that I would gain anything by re-reading it now. In spite of this, do you think I should re-read it? Alternatively, should I read something else of his, such as /The Plague/ (which I have never read, thinking it would be too depressing)?
