JON DOES IT AGAIN!

Odd lots #7 (Albert Camus, Jacques Derrida, and St. Augustine) were all born in what is now Algeria, and all (I'm not actually sure about this, and will check it later, but this is as esoteric as you can get) wrote commentaries about Plotinus. Actually what I had in mind was just that they were philosophers born in Algeria, but I'll certainly go with Jon's answer. Which came in so fast I haven't had time to concoct the next Odd Lot. Watch this space.
