Have I read this before: Yes…I think? Maybe in high school.

Review: I dig Sartre. I dig existentialism. I like the way that he represented the idea of the existential angst of existence via the “nausea.” You don’t need to know about existentialism to dig this book, but it helps to give it depth!

Favorite part: A few quotes:

“And I – soft, weak, obscene, digesting, juggling with dismal thoughts – I, too, was In the way. … I dreamed vaguely of killing myself to wipe out at least one of these superfluous lives. But even my death would have been In the way. … I was In the way for eternity.”

“Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness and dies by chance.”
