What are some great books for getting started with existential philosophy? Just basic fundamental text and what other books I should look out for after I read them. I have a novel I want to write a decade from now, and I figured I needed to do more research as soon as possible

>Bonus points for philosophical books that talk shitty wage jobs and blue-collar work, doesn't have to be existential, and any philospical text on the Greek God Dionysus

Sounds like someone didn't read Nietzsche and instead opted for the book his sister put out after he died. Or you just fell for the meme.

There are alot of nietzsche threads up and those do tend to attract the seething and the butthurt like a colossal philosophical statue of liberty. Why don't you go back to one of those and complain since you don't seem to be interested in giving OP recommendations.

It's alright kiddo, nietzsche probably just cored out your mind. Happens every now and then. Grow a mustache and become a philologist.
