No Exit and Three Other Plays
by Jean-Paul Sartre
If you are interested in Existentialism and are up for a modern take, try Yalom's, "Love's Executioner." Yalom is an existential psychiatrist. The book is a collection of essays reflecting on the existential crises his patients triggered in him.

I wish I had years and years left of college so I could have fit in all the classes I could dream of. If I did, I would have taken an course in existentialism. Unfortunately it was only ever briefly touched on in one philosophy class, but the brief mention was enough to ignite an interest that I was free to pursue on my own.
I would recommend that anyone who finds comfort in exitentialism, like myself, read NO Exit. The line "Hell is other people" might be one of my favorite mantras.
Why I find it comforting I couldn't tell you...I'm still in the process of absorbing it and learning, but existentialism is something akin to religion to me.
