I think "The Stranger" and "The Myth of Sisyphus" are two of the most inspiring works I've ever read.Yeah, he didnt care much for labels. Neither do I. Thats why I dont mind if someone calls me an atheist, or an agnostic. Both are fine and close enough for me. Yes, I agree, there are many close relations between absurdism and existentialism and absurdism and nihilism...mostly in how strong the language is. Absurdists use the word "probably" alot, pointing out they are not 100% sure, and that it is okay to be in suspension of a conclusion.
