    Try reading a book like Nausea by Sarte or The Stranger by Camus before you go for any straight texts. allot of Existentialism is about a mood that can not be expressed through words but the novels do a good job of getting the felling across.

    I'm surprised that Dostoevsky's Notes from the Underground hasn't been mentioned. I would venture to say that Notes is a greater piece of existentialist literature than Sartre's Nausea.

    I'm surprised that no one has ever mentioned Viktor E. Frankl in this thread.

    Nagarjuna is one of the best existential philosophers of all time.
