Absurd makes sense to me....!!!

I had always kept myself miles away from anything to do with philosophy. The compelling disinterest was that i found the topic really absurd. Few days back was at a cousin's place alone and was finding passing time an arduous task as there was a power cut The huge collection of books looked too voluminous for me to arouse an intrest. Just glancing through the shelf i happen to find a tiny little book by Albert camus. I knew Camus fleetingly as an answer to a erroneous trivia qn floating around of a nobel laureate captaining a WC football team.Being ignorant of the fact that Camus is known for his philosphical works, i started reading it.Few hours later philosophy no longer seemd to be absurd....
