My current book that I am reading is 'Exile and the Kingdom' by Albert Camus.

Albert Camus (1913- 1960) He was a French philosopher, writer and Journalist. His works include His works include-  The Stranger, The  Plague, The Myth of Sisyphus,  The Fall  and  The Rebel.
This book I am reading is a collection of short stories. It leaves you feeling deeply about life, about loneliness, finding meaning in life or no meaning in life,  about what matters and what doesn't. These are just like little parables,  that you can reflect on and find the meaning yourself within them.

Four of these short stories are set in Algiers on the fringes of the desert. The descriptions are vivid and interesting. You feel  yourself immediately transported to those exotic places. All the stories are very good so far and I am about halfway througb the book. So far so good.

I will read the rest of the book then finish my summary of the book in my next blog.
