Hey Brandon --

What do you think of Tom Nagel's criticism of Camus's Existentialism? Basically argues that Camus's elevation of the philosophical problem of suicide suggests that he is taking a too-serious attitude towards life. This flys in the face of the idea that life is absurd and inconsequential.

As far as LP goes, there's always Ayer and Carnap. And before them, Russell and Moore. Wittgenstein's "Tractatus" is a formidable work so it's not exactly the best place to start. Maybe something by Bertrand Russell?
