if you mean Pechorin in Hero I'm going to have to disagree. He has extreme emotional problems but he isn't totally bereft of morality and affect the way Mersault is. More than anything he's just hugely narcissitic

Nausea made me miserable for a week.

I guess that qualifies it as good since I'm quite a happy person

Not that it's what you're looking for, but you might as well read The Postman Always Rings Twice by James M. Cain. It's what inspired Camus to write The Stranger.
