Read The Roads To Freedom trilogy.
I lost my book and still couldn't get a new one, baww 
Reading Nausea fast creates a feeling like you were struck by thunder. I had read it in a short time like 2-3 days I think... I couldn't return to normal life for like a day. I was staring at empty spaces and thinking.

i shall have to do that soon
and if really does, i still can't competely return to a normal life, it's rather changed a part of my perspective on life, and i must say in a way i'm a smidge more morbid now, but oh well

I know the feeling.
You are one of us now.. xD
I'm glad I recommended the book to you.
The influence is too heavy, yes. By returning to life I had meant not looking into blank spaces for hours. 
After that book, my literature teachers banned me from reading philosophy for a month.
What I felt after finishing it was the final shaping of what I felt had lied inside of me. This is me, I thought. Antoine Roquentin's every moan and groan and whatever. This is what life is. A meaningless journey where you decide on the meaning, holding the branches you want as the randomness of the river takes you with the flow.
That damn book is just awesomeness from the start to the end.

i am!
it's weird, i'll be doing the most random of things, standing in a grocery line, making my bed, sitting in class, and all the sudden WHAM i remember life is pointless. in all honesty, i don't notice it so much when i'm busy with other stuff, but then when the "nausea" does happen, it's so overwhelming.
and i find it kind of interesting, which i'm surprised wasn't mentioned in the book, is that humans exist entirely out of the normal food chain. if you think about it, the entire human race could get wiped off the face of the planet, and it wouldn't matter. However, if all the bees became extinct, countless other specicies would suffer and half the food chain would get screwed up, if not all of it. Everything in nature is so perfectly connected, and humans are outside of that connection. We're the parasites of earth, damaging everything.
and it is just an awesome book :3

But actually I found Nausea more .. eh, hopeful than it seems to be. Life may be meaningless, but the nausea goes away as you learn to embrace the life as it is. Life may be pointless, but it's your thing to give it a real meaning, while not forgetting you are human before a student, a daughter, a citizen, a doctor, a communist, or a waiter. The book became one of the turning points in my life.
And well, it actually would matter. We are on top of the food chain, so it would mean that all the species we consume would be abundant when we died. And the prey of those species would be lesser and lesser.
The only wrong thing about us is that we pollute the Earth. If cheetahs were dead it wouldn't lead to another species being wiped, though. It's just our way of consuming the world rather than living with it - which, yes, could be mentioned in the book...
But maybe Sartre wanted the reader to find it out by him/herself when he/she grasped the philosophy underneath.
