The existentialist President
I wrote an entry in early July that revealed some of my summer reading list. One of the books was The Stranger by Albert Camus. So I thought it was quite a coincidence when I heard a few weeks ago that President Bush was also reading The Stranger. The President and I reading the same book simultaneously? What does it mean??? It just seems so, so... absurd.

So does the concept of killing an Arab appeal to our president? I see irony especially in it end! So Mark why did you pick up this book? I read it because it was the basis for a rather good song done by the Cure.
Heh... I also saw the irony in that! I knew about the "Killing an Arab" song even though I was never a big fan of of The Cure. That's not why I decided to read the book... To tell the truth, a local bookstore was going out of business, and at their clearance sale they had a shelf full of Camus novels they were selling for only a few dollars a copy.
