Hi lit. I'm looking for a place to start in philosophy.

Hi lit. I'm looking for a place to start in philosophy. I am most interested in the existentialist philosophers and I know someone is probably going to say to start with the greek philosophers, but I'm not really sure I want to do that unless I'm really sold on the idea. I'm sorry, I just don't want to waste time unless I feel in my heart that it's going to be worth while.

I was thinking of getting these books.

The Stranger by Albert Camus (or The Myth of Sisyphus)
Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre
Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche

Philosophy is not for you.

>Sartre

Fucking don't. Same goes for Foucault and all the other hacks like Habermas/Deleuze/etc.

You only need Schopenhauer.

You're saying not to bother with Nietzsche or Camus?

>Zarathustra
You're going too deep, too fast; start with the greeks
Protip: you can skip most presocratics+mythology if you don't care
