I read the first few pages but it so dense with references to other works/philosophers it felt unreadable to me (and I've read a decent bit of philosophy but not a ton).

I just checked it out, on your recommendation :-) Uh, there's only about one philosopher/fictional character mentioned per page in the first 10 pages, and not unnecessary mentions. Very disappointed. /s It's very readable too. (Well, it would be but I don't read bleak writers these days. From everything I've heard, Camus was vastly superior as man and writer to Sartre. I read a lot of Sartre decades ago and don't recommend it.)

If you can get to Chapter 2 it's a lot more approachable.
