What is some literature for people who feel like they know nothing, feel like they are nothing, like they are just drifting in this strange, strange world?

Literature isnt "for" anybody, it is of people, but if general existential dread is your problem youre in luck because most of it comes from people with that anyway

Notes from the underground - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
No longer human - Osamu Dazai
The death of Ivan Ilich - Lev Tolstoi
The stranger - Albert Camus
The tunnel - Ernesto Sábato
The metamorphosis - Franz Kafka

If you're lucky enough, after reading those you will have less doubts on ending your life on this strange, strange world!

Really good list.

I would be extremely grateful if you could suggest which translations to pick up for:

1. Notes from underground
2. Death of Ivan Ilyich
3. The tunnel.

Which translations are considered the best for these?

I'm curious anon: What about this world do you find so strange? Could you elaborate?

Tao Te Ching:

Stop thinking, and end your problems.
What difference between yes and no?
What difference between success and failure?
Must you value what others value,
avoid what others avoid?
How ridiculous!

Other people are excited,
as though they were at a parade.
I alone don't care,
I alone am expressionless,
like an infant before it can smile.

Other people have what they need;
I alone possess nothing.
I alone drift about,
like someone without a home.
I am like an idiot, my mind is so empty.

Other people are bright;
I alone am dark.
Other people are sharp;
I alone am dull.
Other people have purpose;
I alone don't know.
I drift like a wave on the ocean,
I blow as aimless as the wind.

I am different from ordinary people.
I drink from the Great Mother's breasts
