What to Read Next?

[qspeechc]

Hello everyone. Haven't been posting for a looooong time.

Anyway. I've just read Camus's "The Myth of Sisyphus", and I am not satisfied with it. I've read other existentials, bits and pieces here and there. Some Nietzsche, some Sartre, Dostoevsky, de Beauvior and so on, no structure or reason to what I read.

I'm not sure what to read next. Something in the vein of "The Myth of Sisyphus" would be nice.
Any recommendations?

Thanks.

It depends on what you like to read.

Some ideas,

Immortality, The Joke - Milan Kundera’s
Candide, Voltaire
Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche
Flowers for Algernon, Daniel Keyes
Siddhartha, Damien, Beneath the wheel - Herman Hesse
Sickness unto Death, Kierkegaard
The Stranger, Camus
The Death of Ivan Ilych, Tolstoy
Notes from the Underground, Dostoyevsky

Try Camus' The Rebel.

It's great. More political than his other work. Rather than suicde, it discuss the problem of murder. More specifically, it gets into the problem of ideolgy and belief being strong enough to make you kill.

Good stuff.

SGCS (Second Generation Cognitive Science) has introduced a new and revolutionary paradigm regarding the nature of human cognition that will revolutionize our comprehension of how we think, know, perceive, and understand. An ntroduction can be found in "Philosophy in the Flesh" by Lakoff and Johnson

I suggest next either:

Man's Fate by Malraux or
Journey to the End of Night by Celine

Thanks everyone, looks like I have plenty to read!

Btw, are there any philosophical works written since Camus dealing with suicide?
