Short, sweet, and absurd is Albert Camus ???The Stranger???. A nonplussed man performs a horrible crime all because of the sun. I found it quite easy to relate to this book, although I would not want to make myself seem like a nihilistic edge lord. The book lays out Camus absurd philosophy quite well and it becomes easy to understand that some of the most significant actions of our lives may be without purpose or rational motivation.
I would recommend it to you if you would like to find out more about Camus's philosophical ideas or are looking for an introduction to Camus overall.
