Haha, I know he's not a philosopher per se, but I learnt a lot about life from his characters, had to take this opportunity to shout him out
I'd disagree. I think he was pretty nihilistic. I think he had a lot to teach.Haha, I know he's not a philosopher per se, but I learnt a lot about life from his characters, had to take this opportunity to shout him out

Camus and Kafka are my favorite
Kafka had a great sense of humor
The trial and the castle are two of the funniest books I’ve ever read

thanks for putting us on
Anyone who digs existentialism should check out Robert Musil's The Man Without Qualities, which is IMO one of the all time great novels and certainly has existential themes. It's set during the decline of the Austro-Hungarian empire right before WWI and it has a lot of parallels to the modern era if you live in America or the UK.
Ralph Ellison needs a mention too, since he was influenced by Dostoevsky's Notes from the Underground when writing Invisible Man.
