Hey /lit/. Could you recommend me some books that deal with themes like existensialism or nihilism? I've read several books of Michel Houellebecq, all of which I've enjoyed very. Currently I'm reading Journey to the End of Night, which I too enjoy. Any similar books to these you've had a great read with?

Sure. Was it a hard read? I don't really know so much about the author, but from what I read on him, his works deal with existensialism, as well as critique towards the petit bourgeoisie. I'll check him out, thanks !

Nope, it's short and goes by really quick. You could read it in a day if you really wanted.

Read Camus, he's the champion of existential writing and fun to read too.
