		pram on Sept 25, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: For Camus, It Was Always Personal Ecclesiastes is one of the finest existential works ever. It’s so heavy and emotional to get through. A lot of Kafkas work generated the same emotions in me the first time I read them, despite being more ironic.

Absolutely agree with that. Ever by Flipper is up there too.

Same here. I read the Trial this summer too. It felt much in the same vein as Ecclesiastes did.

Vanity of vanities.
