Or maybe plagues are meant to be boring, and this is actually a stroke of genius done so flawlessly that I didn\u0026amp;#39;t appreciate it. Either way, I fell asleep. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;(idk I usually enjoy philosophical discussions. I fear my experience of this book might be victim of translation (it\u0026amp;#39;s kinda difficult to follow what\u0026amp;#39;s going on at a lot of points), and maybe the concept of a documentation of a plague was novel when it was published, but after covid, all it gives is the faint familiarity of boredom.)\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;((at the reveal at the end that \u0026lt;span class=\u0026quot;spoiler\u0026quot;\u0026gt;Rieux is supposed to be the narrator\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;, umh, I always thought that \u0026lt;span class=\u0026quot;spoiler\u0026quot;\u0026gt;they were the same anyway from the beginning???? so turns out I was reading the whole book wrong.\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt; Goes to show that I don\u0026amp;#39;t think I followed a thing through the whole ass book LOL))\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;","thumbnail_url":"https://assets.hardcover.app/edition/2707798/7be060fefe972fcc6c85a3a65649d64d2517ad03.jpeg","thumbnail_width":302,"thumbnail_height":500}
