Hey /lit/,
I've read most of the Camus/Sartre canon recently and now I was thinking of reading Kierkegaard but I've seen people saying I should first read Hegel. So, which books should I start with?

To read Hegel you need to read Kant. To read Kant you need to read Hume. To read Hume you need to read Descartes etc etc.
TL;DR start with the Greeks

I would if I had that much time. Can you at least name 1 crucial book by each of those writers (I've read Iliad, Odyssey and some other Greeks stuff so skip that)
Thing is lot of these writers talk about lot of stuff. Could anyone point me to some of their crucial books concerning existentialism that was born later because of it.
Considering Kierk's works is just one big polemic against Hegel, you should read Hegel first. Despite all the memes, Hegel is a pretty solid place to start, especially if you want a good understanding of contemporary continental philosophy.
