Albert Camus: The Stranger

Anyone in here read this novel? And could you relate to Meursault's world-view or did you just feel he was half a human, maybe a sociopath? As for myself I could totally relate to everything Meursault said, thought and did. And I do not think he is a sociopath, it doesen't fit the puzzle. I see it more like a novel of the existential philosophy than a realistic, psychological character study. No one is THAT disattached from their emotional life!

What do you think?

One must take into consideration the times. Camus was killed in an auto accident in I think 1957. so the story was writen I thnk not to long after the WWII. I am also not to sure of the translation it was in french.
