The absurd can roughly be defined as such: our innate desire for meaning in a world that gives no meaning. Absurdity spawns within this contradiction; a need for meaning that cannot be answered. In my very amateurish undergraduate dissertation, I discuss how it is we can come to accept our absurd position. I do so through exploring both Camus' philosophical and literary work. I argue Camus felt it is with both intellectual recognition of meaninglessness and deep feelings of absurdity that allow us to begin the process of accepting the absurdity of the world.

This is a book count tracker created using python, SQL and javascript. It dynamically updates personal reading stats for specific years based on user input. The app records different genres, notes users top authors and updates total pages read and reading trends across months. It also tracks all time year stats, allowing users to see who their top author and genre is across all time, as well as total books and total pages read across all years. Users can set a reading goal that is then graphically compared to the books read so far in the year. Milestones and a reading streak are also used to encourage reading.
