I will have to pick that up

It is interesting . The title of the book will be the story. Good luck.

It's pretty good-- in the same vein as Camus' Stranger, maybe with more of a philosophical point/axe to grind.

Depressing as all hell. It takes me weeks to recover from reading that book.

I read this in my student days and can't remember much other than that I liked it. I also read Iron in the Soul by Sartre during an existentialist phase during which I also read Camus and Hess. Big influence on me in those years. I think it's in Nausea that there's a librarian who's trying to educate himself by reading every book in the library in Alphabetical order. He had been doing it for fifteen years and has almost finished the Ds.

I definitely get the depressing as all hell comment. Although I think my reaction tended more towards actual nausea. I'm not sure if that was the author's intent considering the title. I feel like I need to read it again at another time in my life to really judge what I think of it. Right now it is definitely not my favorite fiction from Sartre.

This book is quite depressing, I read it in 3 days and it had a profound effect on my psychological well being for the next few weeks, and still has some residual thoughts. But a fantastic view into the human mind, I definitely recommend it to anyone interested in existentialism and philosophy in general

* I still have

Nausea I never read to lift my spirits. I never read Sartre to elevate my mood as a matter of fact unless I hit bottom on--pick any depression scale. I admire his tenacity to duelve into causeways that lead to disillusionment and dis-content. I trust him as a tour guide and a soothsayer. His plays like No Exit are more fun to read and his short stories address interesting themes esp. psychological for example folie a deux.

this novel and Camus "L'Etranger" tell you all you need to know about Existentialism and the emptying of meaning from our lives. As relevant today, maybe more so, as back when they written and existentialism was all the rage

Qual o cerne do livro?

It's, actually, interesting. I read it almost a year ago and I haven't found another book strong enough to bond with yet. You can read it as a lesson of philosophy taught by images, such as the speculation he does looking at the roots of some trees, but you can also look at it as an introspective masterpiece. That's the treasure

It's a truely amazing book actually one of my fav books. I read it like 6 or 7 years ago and I still re-read it today and think about it 24/7. The feels every sentence in this book make me feel is just incredible. I haven't found another book this strong...
