This book explores a fundemental question: is life worth living when it all may be meaningless? I was sitting through a Crisis intervention lecture which was informing us of resources to provide folks in crisis to promote life, and a thought crossed my mind: but why save life? Wanting to save a life is making some implicit statement about life's value, namely that to be alive is more valuble than to be dead. Why?

The story of Sisyphus is on Pg. 119. I'm almost there. What can I even say? Does it really matter?

Book is starting to make more sense. In short: Life is meaningless. Humans search for meaning in a meaningless world is absurd. The absurd mindset exists between humans and the world. Focusing too much on Meaninglessness or pure Reason misses the absurd. Killing ourselves is not a great solution to meaninglessness. To become radically aware is. To become so free is. To experience as much of life as possible is.

Barely making it through this book. My god. Am I stupid or is this unintelligible? Or both!

Really just slugging through this book. Every sentence needs two readings. Ugh.
