Just finished reading The Stranger by Albert Camus, and now I'm pretty contemplative about life.
Well, I know that the book is a big analogy for his absurdist philosohpy. Like the way the protagonist is indifferent about the world around him and everybody wants to find some meaning for the random things that happened.
But, well, what are you guys thought about it?

The myth of Sisyphus is regarded as a companion piece to the stranger
Sartre is another major player there, you could try Nausea or Being and Nothingness, as his best know stuff

In addition to Sartre's books Crime and Punishment and East of Eden dealt with existentialism within a fictional story. Kafka is another good one and in one of the essays that is usually packaged with Myth of Sisyphus (maybe it was Myth of Sisyphus) Camus mentions Kafka's works as a great example of absurdism, particularly The Castle. Camus also mentions some characters from Dostoevsky's Demons (or Devils) as absurdist.
