The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus is extremely readable and a classic of modern nihilistic thought. I'd also recommend Nietzsche's The Genealogy of Morals.

The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus is extremely readable and a classic of modern nihilistic thought.
I'd also recommend Nietzsche's The Genealogy of Morals. It's not his most famous work, but it's pretty widely acclaimed as his best.
- bm1362 15y ago^ I too recommend Camus, 'A Happy Death' as well as 'The Myth of Sisyphus.' I'd also read Milan Kundera's novels- although they are much less nihilistic than Camus it still deals with the futility of life, love, and society etc.
