^^^ Those are really good, especially the first one (The Age of Reason, I believe is the title). I never read Nausea. No Exit is a great play that I recommend.

I have tried a couple of times to read Nausea, and somehow have never made my way into it. Ditto The Age of Reason. I can't quite pinpoint why. I really like Camus, for example. And I'm a great admirer of one of Sartre's more famous short stories, "The Wall", which gets way up on my list of great short works. I'll have to give Nausea another go. It's not very long.

AW. A very nice place!
... read Nausea once, years back. Tried rereading it recently and couldn't get into it. It's worth the struggle though. There's a background character in the novel who still stands out to me. He read all the books in a library starting with the A's and working his way to the Z's. "The Wall" is a great story. Read it several times. "No Exit" is good, too, though not my favorite play of his. Maybe "The Flies" was or whatever it was it was called.
