Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?

I always find it amusing yet irritating that when a book has such an impact on me, I find myself at loss with words. I would laugh if I was not so shaken (ooh we"re getting a bit dramatic here...) I would like to explain why this book is a masterpiece and all that jazz; but reading is such a personal experience and this book touches me at such personal levels that it would be a waste of time trying to put words to what this book makes me feel, on what it makes me aspire to as a person and for everything else in life. This book embodies unapologetically the quote "I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees", which oddly enough Camus was fond of. Finally, needless to say, that the writing is beautiful, but nonetheless I would like to say it. Her writing style is what touches me most, it corresponds to what I seek in books, litterature fiction, or otherwise.
