Not unless you enjoy getting really, really depressed. Camus and Sartre both were nihilistic existentialists. Their lives may have been pointless, but mine is not. And if there were no point, why bother to tell anyone? I guess misery loves company--especially if it sells books.

Yes. I think I have read all of Sartre's books in French and English. However, I do not recognise the title. Very ignorant. What is it in French?

Yes, especially if you're interested in politics these days. Bush's Hell would be eternal incarceration in a room with - Hillary and Saddam, or perhaps Nancy Pelosi and Michael Moore. You choose.

From a existential nihilist viewpoint there's no point in doing anything so there's no worth in reading a book. A bit obvious really.

In French, I believe it is 'Huis Clos'.
Yes, is worth reading, although depressing. So is 'The Stranger' by Albert Camus.
