Jean-Paul Sartre's version of "Rebel Without a Cause" and like James Dean, Sartre himself became an icon. Written in the late 30's, Sartre's study of a man who analyze his feelings, bearings on a world that makes him sick. This book has so much identity to it, that it is almost a brand name for 'youth.' There is nothing better then to be caught reading this novel by a pretty girl in a coffee house. Unless it's Starbucks, and then it is just... pointless.

I'm currently reading this book and it's overwhelmingly to the details of every emotion. It scares the hell out of me how accurate he describes certain events that occurs to him, which I recognized before in me. I just love this book. Btw I tried to get caught reading this book by pretty girls, but I have the misfortune of living in a city where reading is looked upon as pretentious. so there you have it.

Zuzu, I strongly suggest that you move out of your town, city, village, country, world, etc.
I was having second thoughts about reading this book since I've already read The Age of Reason and am planning to get into Sartre's philosophy heavily, eventually as I plan to tackle Being and Nothingness. Would this book be a good precursor to that?
This book is easy to get into, than say his other works. Mostly because it is a narrative - and a work of fiction.
Karan, being and nothingness is a huge book and would take some real dedication to read. You should start with his book existentialism is a humanism, it's much shorter and has his key ideas.
