Start with The Trouble With Being Born, it's a short collection of aphorisms dealing with things like the absurdity of ideology, the impossibility of living without it, the futility of language, existential loneliness, etc. Has a similar feel to Schopenhaur but without being written as a traditional philosophical argument.
Fucking depressing but hard to ignore after the ideas have gotten into your head.

Purpose is a spook, a linguistic construct in a universe indifferent to our language, any idea of one's 'purpose' in life cannot be called valid or invalid, only meaningless.
Even you redditors giving the pseudoscientific 'have sex/procreate' argument - remember that evolution itself has no purpose, it's not taking anything anywhere that is any 'better' than where it came from. It's just going.
