Here's what I have read so far:

Robert Camus - The stranger
Goethe - the sorrows of Young Werther & Faust
F. Nietzche - most of his works
Paul Sartre - I've started to read - "Being in nothingness", -though, this one doesn't seem to be of my taste. Can you recommend any other great book for I to read?

Have you tried Sartre's trilogy? Dostoyevsky? (He's excellent!)

Thank you for replying.
I'll consider your recommendations. By chance, just yesterday, I came across with "Provocations" by Kierkegaard. So far, this book seems to be exactly what I've been searching for? though, I am open to other suggestions as well, take care.

you do know most of them came to a bad end?
To dig deep into life is to make oneself vulnerable.
Thus spake Zarathustra---master do not leave us---You know as much as I.
God is the one?
the infinite?
The conscious need rising above the mundane?
to find the profound?
Creation seeks creation?
Kiss me my sweet....but kiss me quickly!

I second that one, along with another of his books, "through time into healing".

You asked for suggestions in Books, too, and I do hope you are finding what it is you are looking for in the way of philosophic thought and writing.

Philosophy is a wide field for exploration, and not for everyone!
