This Month's Book - The Stranger by Albert Camus (a.k.a The Outsider)
it follows an emotionally detached man whose ordinary life is disrupted by a series of events that force him into conflict with society's expectations. Through its spare, direct prose, the novel explores themes of meaning, alienation, and the tension between the individual and the world around them without offering easy answers

What to Expect?
Close Reading: We go beyond surface-level plot summary. Expect discussions that examine the author's choices, narrative techniques, and the questions left lingering in the silence between pages.
Thoughtful Dialogue: This isn't a race to share opinions—it's a space for genuine exploration. We listen, we reflect, we build on each other's insights.
Meaningful Connections: Great fiction holds up a mirror to the human experience. Through discussing characters' choices and moral dilemmas, we often discover something about ourselves and each other.
