I've just finished Love May Fail by Matthew Quick (of Silver Linings Playbook fame). Not bad. Loses its way a bit toward the end I felt. Has a multiple pov structure and for my mind he could've lost at least one of those and pushed the relevant character into the background a bit more.
The said, one of the main characters is a High School English teacher with a liking for Albert Camus (after whom he names his dog). So my next read is The Outsider (aka The Stranger)
Edit:
In case anyone is apt to take my brief review as a recommendation I feel I ought to say that there is a brief sequence in Love May Fail which might be upsetting to animal lovers. I know some people care a lot about that sort of thing so, be warned.
