Excellent selections from existentialist literature

This was my bible during college. If you're on a search, given to deep thinking, and want exposure to many existentialist perspectives, this is you're book. I really care about these subjects, and read the book for my own edification. But the added benefit was the fertile ground of ideas it offered for term papers, etc. The book is laid out in sections -- precursors to existentialism, religious, atheist, psycological perspectives, etc, and offers brief selections from a great many authors. So one does not need to read this book page by page but instead can jump around. This is a great book.
