I'm reading The Stranger and finding it very relevant to our times. It's a depressingly boring read, but it gives an accurate insight into the way most young people are experiencing life. Worth a read if for nothing else than to identify which of your attitudes are too eerily similar to the main character's. Also highly recommend The Trial for similar reasons.

The Trial by Franz Kafka? Color me curious - what about that book is relevant to the experience of young people today? From what I remember of the book, a young man is put through criminal proceedings for an unnamed crime that he was not made privy to - and it essentially encapsulated what a bureaucratic and litigious dystopia of a society would look like - but again, I'm curious how you draw the connections between that to the experience of young people today.

Can't say I read it myself, but what you said seems like a pretty good metaphor for what it's like dealing with people who make generalizations about Millennials. Particularly when it comes to accusations of entitlement.

Are you talking about the one by Albert Camus? If so, please elaborate on how it’s insightful with regards to the lives of 21st century young people. I can make that link myself.
