What are some good reads (preferably novels, not philosophical essays) related to existentialism / absurdism / nihilism.

I know those are 3 different philosophies but they all share things like lack of objective morality / lack of objective meaning in life / overcoming the absurd / etc.

Who cares. You know you'd feel bad for insulting your brother or killing a nigga so you don't do it for the sake of peace of mind.

>lack of objective meaning in life
Like having that used to make things any easier. "Just hold out fifty or so more years, paradise awaits if you're a good boy". As if that made life meaningful in a profound sense dude. People were just as depressed then as now.

> overcoming the absurd
Ooooh how mysterious and intriguing. Not. There is nothing "absurd" about life. We do what we must to get by and this involves mind numbingly redundant activity for the sake of aquiring currency under capitalism, or plain old survival in earlier times.

Of course you gotta leave it to coddled post war bougie snails to make it about their feels. MUH ANGUISH. MUH EXISTENTIAL ASSPAINED ANAL PAINS. Do you even realize how silly this sounds to men with intact balls?

Sort yourself out kid. Nothing personalle.

Existentialism is great when you are 14 but then you grow up and realise that the one true way to comport yourself is by belonging to One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church and studying the writings of Church Fathers.
