Existentialist and Absurdist Fiction
Absurdist and existentialist fiction confronts the central tension of human life: our relentless search for meaning in a universe that offers none. These works explore freedom, alienation, responsibility, and the burden of choice. Characters often stand alone against indifferent systems, silent gods, or their own fractured consciousness.

Oxford Reading List for English
Found this online - a reading list of a first year English course at Oxford University. Wanted to create this for my own enjoyment and figured someone else might like it too! I only added the fiction and poetry books and I also did not add any companions.
The last bit (from bottom up to Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway) are required reading - top half is recommended.
