if you haven't already read it, check out "Speaking Out". It's a collection of Camus's lectures and speeches from '37-'58. I recently found it on the used shelf at the local library, an excellent find.

Thank-you very m. You could make it in academia with that synopsis. Two things to thank-you. 3. His notebooks were beautifully published and are available from shiit Indiana libraries. 2. Pick him for your book you will carry in your memory 451 style. Because the whole argument he sets down flows so that you could tell it over three nights. And one, that he granulated things down to human behaviors, r? He surely read James and Pierce. He wants to give vignettes of good behavior but philosophically demur abstains from describing a rebel behavior. What is not obvious about that is that Beaudrillard in those 20 dollar Versos goes all the way to literature prescribing behavior. Like Jean says when looking for something donot look in the same place twice. Camus might have ventured into this kind of charming if not for what 47 ? 43 did he explode the car.

Yup. Look at how private despite the politics almost of our language um is. Lyndon Laroches who do not value metaphysics are writing whole essays abt Why care? And etc. But us engaged are sideways? Alright.

My guru dead now butyou will remember him from used book store Plath. Babu boomer, after a semi truck of a semi sccssfl book wrote pop psyche guru books and he said trouble has a teleology of either believing you are the disadvantaged dog at the the tit or nothing. Do you see why stopping thinking can stop an ego? Not Plath Prather. Hugh Prather. Do pick up camus's diaries they need to be taken w the grain of salt that he did not publish such ideas as Sleep is worthless. You are thecrecieving receiving end of sleep so you say whether such are useless. Be well.
