I basically came to the conclusion some years ago that "not knowing" is the best route to take....for me. It's safe.

the book starts like this (in english translation):

There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest--whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories--comes afterwards. These are games; one must first answer.

you're talking about the afterlife or something though, camus has none of that, he doesn't wonder what happens after one dies or any of that wishful thinking bullshit. you should read it-- great book.
