The Myth of Sisyphus is a good introduction to Camus. It is definitely a tedious read at times because Camus relies a lot on examples or references (like you said) to present his positions. It is, however, a philosophy book, so you don't necessarily have to read it like a novel. Feel free to skip pages if you feel "too bored" or go back pages
The Myth of Sisyphus is a philosophical essay written by Albert Camus and published (as Mythe de Sisyphe) in 1942. In it, Camus explores the absurd, which he identifies as coming about in the confrontation between our desire for clarity and our understanding of the world's irrationality.
Sisyphus came from a pretty notable family. According to the mythological work known as the "Library," falsely attributed to Apollodorus, Sisyphus was only a few generations away from Deucalion, the man sometimes called the Greek Noah, as he and his wife Pyrrha were the ones who survived when Zeus flooded the world and were responsible for repopulating humanity.

Sisyphus was the wise king of Corinth (though some dispute this). According to myth Aegina, the daughter of Aesopus, was abducted by Jupiter. Aesopus asked Sisyphus for his help. Sisyphus agreed on the condition that Aesopus provided water to the citadel of Corinth. This betrayal angered the gods and he was condemned to the underworld.

During the demonstration, the mortal Sisyphus was able to chain Thanatos and save humanity from death. Zeus, enraged that mortals had ceased to die now, sent Ares down to earth to release Thanatos. Ares, as the Greek god of war and the representative of the ghastly aspects of brutality and manslaughter, was highly qualified for the duty.
