The Sickness unto Death
by Søren Kierkegaard
This book talks about the dizziness of existence and despair, but the actual wording in certain portions made me dizzy. I know a lot of that has to do with the translation. I also am not a huge Kierkegaard fan because I'm not Christian.
But overall, if you want to better understand the phenomenologists and mid/late-20th century philosophy, you can't really skip over Kierkegaard because he doesn't write as poetically as some of his contemporaries. It helped me understand why Kierkegaard is considered the first real phenomenologist; he captures extremely elusive human experiences and uses them as a basis for all subsequent philosophical theories.
