What Members Thought

Recommended to those who seek a scrupulous literary application of the philosophy of Existentialism. Not one of the most uplifting or cheerful reads out there, but it perfectly accomplishes the intentions of its writer. This book is Sartrean Existentialism at its most compelling and forthright.

Woah ... Sartre manages to take the mundane and make it unbelievably terrifying. His attention to his surroundings actually had me feeling a sense of nausea at my own environment at points. His style of writing was so ... Close to home? Eerily reminiscent of my own interior life? Absurdly on point? -- he is a genius, and this work is a wonderful introductory piece to existentialism and French guys complaining about the world.
