The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays

 by Albert Camus

I was drawn to this book because I heard that, in it, Camus argues against suicide in a meaningless world. As I started reading, I realized that Camus was writing for people who were approaching suicide as a reasoned intellectual process. This is distinctly different from my experience where the suicidal are just trying to end their pain.

Maybe I'll try reading again in the future. But for now, I can find my own happiness in a very tough world, so I'm not there right now.
