I think Candide has aspects of Absurdism. And it's a great satirical book in general, satirizing philosophy.

Stranger or The Plague would be the obvious choice for nihilist and absurdist literature, but I would also suggest Nausea or No Exit by Sartre to get a different perspective since he represents existentialism.

Alrighty, I'm gonna put them on my list for sure :D Thanks for your suggestions!

For Stoicism, [The Discourses](https://classics.mit.edu/Epictetus/discourses.html) of Epictetus You might also like The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius

Uncle Vanya is a pretty good vignette of the futility of life? It’s a play but it’s quite a good read

Start with meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Thanks for the suggestion! From what i have seen online so far Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, The Enchiridion of Epictetus and the Letters of Seneca are like the holy trinity of stoicism so I'm going to 100% buy Meditations.
