"I know it's a popular 'required reading' book so maybe you've a) already read it or b) know you were supposed to have read it and resent me for suggesting it, but The Stranger by Albert Camus is a must-read for me. It's about a guy who kills another guy on a beach because it was too hot, or so he says. I've read it like five times because it's a readable, interesting existentialist book that's only about 120 pages."
