The Myth of Sisyphus
by Albert Camus
4/5
Vintage International 212 pages May 8, 2018
Camus opens with philosophy's most fundamental question — whether life is worth living — and builds his philosophy of the absurd. Using the Greek myth of Sisyphus condemned to roll a boulder uphill for eternity, Camus argues we must imagine Sisyphus happy.

Jim's Review
🐛
Camus asks if life is meaningless and then spends a whole book saying "yeah, probably, but that's actually fine." Jim relates to Sisyphus — tunneling through dirt all day isn't so different from rolling a boulder. The trick is learning to love the dig.
