How did I do, /lit/?

No shit it doesn't matter. Basically, what I meant was: which of these should be read first; which is the best?

Not OP, but I don't think the person just looking for some simple social interaction and validation is the autistic one here.

This is what I had in mind. If you don't mind my asking, what should I expect while reading Nausea and Being and Time? I have an idea of what it's going to be like reading Camus, so nothing there.

being and time you won't read.
MoS is decent, explains Camooo's absurdism if you care at all then read the rebel after.
Nausea will probably be the most boring thing you read in your life, probably.
The stranger is enjoyable and short.
I would read the stranger without an idea of the absurd then read MoS, then re-read The stranger, then read Sartre's review on The Stranger as it bridges both together well. This is assuming you give a singular shit.
