It transpires that Albert Camus' The Outsider was the most-cited book by men, whereas for women it was Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. Personally, I value The Outsider much more than Jane Eyre, but then I also liked American

Well, it's pretty much a vehicle for his existentialist philosophy. Life is absurd, there is no meaning to be found in our existence, there is no such thing as 'fate', etc. So if you have an interest in existentialism I would definitely recommend it.

And Annyong!! I don't get the 'Free Annyong' reference though, please explain?

I found it while searching for Tobias' book

It doesnt mean anything thou.

However Annyong serves a large purpose in the last episode of AD

*cries that its gone*

For another summary, listen to The Cure's 'Killing an Arab' ...
