Interesting take on The Plague, call me old fashioned but I think The Stranger is the best depiction of the absurd. Have you read Sartre’s analysis of The Stranger? Ironically, no one helped me understand Camus better than Sartre.
Also, I’m currently listening to the Audiobook of At the Existentialist Cafe and am enjoying it enough I bought a physically copy. Such an enjoyable experience, even for those not invested in earl existentialism (but by the time they finish it would be hard to not be invested).

Congrats on starting and finishing the Plague. I know the plot and the basic premise and themes, but I've never gone past a few pages without my mind wandering to something else. I think it may actually be an influence to more writing and stories than it's typically attributed. If you've got time for reading something exceptionally long, I'd definitely recommend the Children's Hospital by Chris Adrian: it's a similar look at the absurd nature of death and disease told through a distinctly surreal and stylistic lens. (There's another, shorter one that comes to mind that I found randomly in the library. I can't remember the exact name at the moment. But it deals with death with similar themes and is noticeably reminiscent of Appalachian-related Cormac McCarthy.)

Coincidentally I read the little prince recently and it was amazing like you said how much you could learn from a children's book. It felt approachable by adults but very bright eyed like a child
The plague was a book I wanted to read but needed incentive and there it is with this video
Will check out the other books too, thank you!
