Where do I start with this chameleon-eyed French guy? Someone gifted me Being and Nothingness, and I wish to know where to start.

Read Nausea, maybe some of his plays. Being and Nothingness is a philosophically heavy work, so you may wish to get to know some Heidegger

Is there a chart?

Quit being a faggot. Know your Plato, your Descartes, your Hume, your Hegel, your Kant, your Husserl, your Heidegger and then your Sartre. After that, suck a cock.

If you don't like Nausea, read his short stories or maybe hix autobiography (pretty short and essay-ish).
The plays aren't exciting but they're short enough and 'philosophical'.

Read in this order:
Existentialism is a Humanism
No Exit
The Wall
The Respectful Prostitute
The Flies
Nausea
Being and Nothingness

Because Sartre misunderstood Heidegger, it's not necessary to read him first.

No need to be rude, friend. I've read my Plato and a little Descartes. And really? Hegel and Kant? You're joking.

I'd start with the book you friend gave you pal.
