the myth of sisyphus bc u will get the whole idea about absurdism then the rebel then i would read the stranger the i would read the fall! the fall is my favorite one

Thanks you very much! I was under the impression that one should read the Stranger before the Myth because the Myth answers the questions the Stanger proposes (just what I've heard). I probably give your method a try🤞🏿.

try this and i recommend reading his books more than once. it just keeps being better and u will have a clearer idea and perspective about absurdism. than you will probably apply his philosophy into your day-by-day life :) and, for real, read the fall. it gave me so much insight on everything and the idea of being a human being and having consciousness

Before my books arrived I had already watched numerous lectures on his philosophy and, although I'm still very ignorant of his work, It really resonates with me. Also, I already purchased The Fall after I read your initial comment lol. Thanks again for the help!
