just read camus and sartre themselves. the stranger is a very good book but it's a literary work so you might not understand the philosophy. for that you can read the myth of sysiphus, which is a philosophical essay that explains all the ideas of absurdism. it's very short and not very hard to read but it does have some references to other older philosophers so it might help to know something about them. but
camus has more books that are fiction, they might be worth reading but I haven't got to it yet. I heard good things about the plague.
from sartre I read nausea. another fiction book it's about a guy who walks around a city and thinks about stuff. it's good. I was recommended "dirty hands" by him but again, I haven't got to it yet.
dostoyevsky is also an existentialist, in a way so you might look into him.
kirkegaard solves the meaning of life problem by telling you to just believe in god, so he's a hack don't read him.
