The next book on my list is rather fitting to current events.
The Amazon.com review says
The Nobel prize-winning Albert Camus, who died in 1960, could not have known how grimly current his existentialist novel of epidemic and death would remain. Set in Algeria, in northern Africa, The Plague is a powerful study of human life and its meaning in the face of a deadly virus that sweeps dispassionately through the city, taking a vast percentage of the population with it.That makes me excited but also terrified to read it. The norovirus is spreading in my city, and so naturally I've made the connection that what happens in this book is going to happen in my area. Now I know a stomach bug that a few people have is nothing compared to a widespread plague, but I am quick to jump to worst-case scenarios, so in my mind this will be my town soon.
Anything good on your reading list?
